IIIL uLinull JL.1,1011 111.11,0 I 1 WU], JUIVIVE - IVY 1 V - Palestinian Sovereignty, Jewish Settlement Rights Not Exclusive By ALON BEN-MEIR ST. LOUIS — Political observers who have studied Prime Minister Begin's au- tonomy plan and the sub- sequent Camp David ac- cords have found that Be- gin's plan offers the Pales- tinians the best prospect for a just solution to this prob- lem. The focus of the autonomy plan, at least from Begin's viewpoint, is on the ques- tion of the Jewish right to settle in Judaea and Samaria, which he believes must be an integral part of any agreement. A distinc- tion must be made here be- een Jewish sovereignty ,,ver Judaea-Samaria and the Gaza Strip and the Jewish right to settle in those areas. To Begin, the inalienable Jewish right to settle in Judaea and Samaria does not negate or compromise Palestinian national aspi- rations, whether for self- determination or for any other form of political self- expression. Begin's suppor- ters reason that the fact that 500,000 Israeli - Pales- tinians are citizens, and that they are able to live peacefully alongside the Is- raelis provide a clear-cut example of co-existence. Why, the argument continues, should 30,000 or 50,000 or even 100,000 Jews living in Judaea and Samaria be any different? Currently, one million Palestinians and roughly 15,000 Israelis live in the West Bank and Gaza Dis- trict. Regardless of eco- nomic opportunities or reli- gious fanaticism, no one contemplates a massive outpouring of Jews to these territories. None of the Is- raeli settlements have dis- placed Arabs, and almost all of the settlements have been built on unused, i ty — H capita I Sympathy FRUIT BASKETS::: 3 Times Daily;: Nation-Wide Delivery $ 1695 RODNICK- McINERNEY'S ;:779-4140 772-4350 ARTY-WIDOIN6-MIKSIMID-1101 LONG and SHORT DRESSES 1/2 OFF . 5199 6110UP $99 GROUP $59 MOP '99 $49 '29 PETITE-MISSES-EXTRA LARGE SIZES SHANDELS 154 SOUTH WOODWARD BIRMINGHAM * MI 2-4150 doned, or unclaimed land. Every demographic study confirms that a Jewish presence in these territories would not offset the over- whelming Arab majority. However, the principle of the Jewish right to settle and peaceful co-existence must first be accepted by the Palestinians. Only then can the final status of these ter- ritories be defined. All proVisions in the Camp David accords point to this eventuality: sover- eignty over the region is not to be confused with the in- alienable Jewish and Pales- tinian right to live in any part of the West Bank or Gaza District. In fact, long before Begin made his plans Major Hotel Construction Already Under Way in Israel By RALPH LISTER Israel Government Touri4in Administration NEW YORK — Numer- ous new hotels will open soon or have begun con- struction in Israel, accord- ing to Uzi Michaeli, Israel's commissioner for tourism to the United States. Two new five-star luxury properties will be open for the traditionally busy Passover-Easter season 'of 1981. The 150-room King Solomon Sheraton in Jerusalem, the Sheraton Hotel Corp.'s second Israel hotel, will be located on King David Street overlook- ing Mount Zion and the pic- turesque Mishkenot Shaananim neighborhood. In Tel Aviv, the Carlton Penta, a 282-room property on the city's Mediterranean shore, will be the first Euro- pean hotel chain deluxe hotel in Israel. The Penta Hotel chain is owned by a consortium of European air- lines, including British Airways, Lufthansa and Swissair. A third-all-new hotel, the Eilon Tower, a ,member of the four-star Basel Hotels Group, re- cently opened in Jerusalem. Located within a new skyscraper in the center of downtown Jerusalem, each of the hotel's 120 fully appointed rooms and roof-top restaurant have magnificent views of the Holy City. In addition to the King Solomon Sheraton, Carlton Penta -and Eilon Tower, a number of new hotels are in varying stages of develop- ment: • The Dan hotel chain took over the 129-room Dan Natanya Hotel (formerly the Four Seasons) in the Mediterranean resort town of Natanya during 1980. Dan is adding a new 80- room wing to its premier King David Hotel in Jerusalem, and plans to manage a new four-star Laguna Hotel opening in 1982 in the Red Sea resort of Eilat. Additionally, the 350-room Dan Eilat Hotel, Eilat's first five-star hotel, is scheduled for a 1983 open- . ing. • Hyatt International has three major Israel hotels in various stages of planning and construction. The Hyatt Regency Jerusalem will be a 600- room five-star hotel and re- sort on the city's "French Hill" near Mount Scopus. Hyatt also plans two hotels as part of the port city of Haifa's new beach resort complex, both due for 1983 opening: the 228-room five star Hyatt Regency Haifa Beach and the 344-room four-star Hyatt Haifa Be- ach. • Israel Resort Hotels Chain has taken under its wing, sales for Jerusalem's 120-room, garden-style Holyland Hotel. The chain's 107-room 'four-star Galei Eilat will open in Eilat in 1981. • In addition to its Eilat and Tel Aviv properties, the Laromme Chain plans a mid-1981 opening of the Laromme Jerusalem, an ar- chitecturally stunning 312-room, five-star hotel lo- cated opposite the city's Liberty Bell Garden. • Jerusalem's four-star Ramada Shalom Hotel is presently adding a major new wing and when com- pleted in 1981 will total 700 rooms, making the Ramada Shalom Israel's largest hotel. • In addition to its new Sheraton King Solomon in Jerusalem, Sheraton will be the first international hotel chain in Eilat when its five-star 150-room resort, the Eilat-Sheraton opens in 1983. • The Shiff Hotel Chain, already Israel's largest- , hotel chain- has five new hotels under construction: In Jerusalem, the Amen House Hotel (four stars, 250 rooms, late 1982 opening); in Tel Aviv, the Hotel Haim (four stars, 250 rooms, De- cember 1982 opening); the Marina Eilat Hotel (350 room beach resort opening 1983); the Marina Dead Sea Hotel (250 rooms, opening 1984); the beach-side Marina Haifa Hotel and Country Club (250 rooms, opening 1984). A 450-room deluxe hotel in Jerusalem, The New President, is, i n the planning stages. , The best way to do good to ourselves, is to do it to others. C known at Camp David, Israelis from his own party and from the oppo- sition who were familiar with them came to recog- nize that "self-rule" was the code word for the eventual return of the West Bank and the Gaza District to the Arab Palestinians. Certainly, neither Begin nor his close associates, they reasoned, could have possibly spelled this out publicly without being politically ruined. Begin knew all along, it is maintained, that neither Sadat nor the Palestinians could concede territory and expect to survive politically. For this reason, Begin had to devise the appropriate mechanism that would grant the Palestinians the eventual right of self-rule, guarantee Israel's security, give the plan the opportu- nity to be implemented suc- cessfully (which is why Begin insisted on an interim period of five years), and establish the distinc- tion between sovereignty and the right to settle through a process that would be palatable to both sides. Begin's position has gen- erated much support from within his own party and the Labor Party . Israel's former foreign minister, Moshe Dayan, was a staunch supporter of this plan. He believed that only through co-existence could peace be eventually achieved. Dayan resigned, however, from the Israeli • • M 5771 AUTHORIZED SALES & REPAIRS George Ohrenstein Jewelers Ltd.

This, Dayan reasoned, would virtually turn Israel into a bi-national state, once the demographic facts of life became operative under conditions of equal- ity. Ironically, Begin is ac- cused by both the right and the left of forsaking his political and ideologi- cal commitments. On the one hand, he is criticized for not annexing the West Bank and Gaza, and on the other, he is con- demned for selling out to the Palestinians. Certainly, an under- standing of the Begin for- mula makes his cautious authorization of Jewish set- tlements rather clear. I PApartattka Thursday 9 PM AM to 4 PM — Sunday 10 AM to 1 PM W nryp
