24 Friday, September 12, 1980 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Galilee Outposts Are Settled By ABRAHAM RABINOWITZ Jerusalem Post JERUSALEM — Ten of the 29 Mitzpim (lookout set- tlements) being built in Galilee, in northern Israel, have bean occupied since the beginning of the year, according to Jewish Agency Settlement Department of- ficials. The remainder are to be settled by October. The mitzpim are mini- settlements designed to es- tablish a Jewish presence at strategic locations in Galilee that would head off illegal Arab building on public lands. Their con- struction has constituted one of the fastest settlement operations in the country's history. In one year, the Jewish National Fund has built 50 _miles of roads through the rocky hills to reach the hitherto inaccessible ridges on which the settlements are being established. Final settlement of the 29 mitzpim will come within three years after Ra'anan Weitz, chairman of the Set- tlement Department, suggested the concept in a memo to the Agency Execu- tive. Most of the mitzpim — or presettlements, as Set- tlement Department offi- cials call them — will eventually become full- size settlements — moshavim, kibutzim or communal villages, a new type of settlement whose organizational structure will be somewhat less For $229 it's a real sleeper.

Seven of the smaller mitzpim may grow somewhat in size but will never grow into conven- tional settlements, say set- tlement officials. The re- mainder will reach conven- tional size, some with 100- 200 families. Instead of elaborate in- frastructures, the mitzpim are being provided witl- - simple pre-fabricateu houses, and generators and radio-telephones in lieu of electricity and telephone lines. None will have their own employment sources in the initial stage. Development of the set- tlements will depend to a large extent on the settlers' own efforts. Eviction Notice Embarrasses Begin's Office JERUSALEM (JTA) — Premier Menahem Begin's office has denied any knowledge of the eviction orders served to three Arab families living near the site designated for Begin's new office in East Jerusalem. The eviction notices em- barrassed Begin's office be- cause it was hinted last week that the Prime Minis- ter's office may not be moved to East Jerusalem as a concession to Egypt to re- start the stalled Pales- tinaian autonomy talks.
