Israel Achievements Impress Egyptians; Book Fair Ban Lifted
•
TEL AVIV (JTA) — A
10-member Egyptian par-
liamentary delegation left
for home Sunday after a
week's visit to Israel, saying
their talks and tours of the
country had changed their
minds about Israel. They
said they now have a clearer
picture of the various view-
points within Israel.
Dr. Mohammed Ahmed
Abdallah, leader of the
group, said before leaving
'lat It is obvious and clear
fiat normalization (of rela-
tions) is a fact, peace in the
Middle East is a fact, peace
.
between Israel and Egypt is
a reality."
Dr. Mustafa Kamel
Murad, leader of Egyptian
opposition Liberal Party,
said "I have now changed
my views about Israel. I
have a clearer picture about
the points of view of the
different political parties
here. We had a picture be-
fore, but it was vague. Now
this picture is clear — that
we all — the big majority —
want peace, and even the
extremists want peace but
they are different in their
view on how to obtain it."
The Egyptians were
visibly moved during a
visit to the Yad Veshem
Holocaust Memorial.
They said it gave them a
deeper insight into Is-
rael's stress on the need
for security. Dr. Fer-
khunda Hassan Youseff,
the only woman in the
group, remarked: "Now I
understand Israeli acts
and deeds that I didn't
understand before."
During their week in Is-
rael the Egyptian par-
liamentarians met with
government and opposition

In a related development,
Egypt has lifted the ban it
imposed on Israel's partici-
pation in the international
book fair opening in Cairo
this week, Kol Israel Radio
reported from Cairo.
The report said the Egyp-
tians acted following a
meeting between the Israeli
Ambassador to Etypt,
Eliahu Ben-Elissar and
Foreign Minister Kamal
Hassan Ali. The meeting
had been requested by
Ben-Elissar.
The Israeli Publishers
Association, which or-
ganized the pavilion,
plans to exhibit 330 titles
at the fair, one-third of
them Arabic books.
Meanwhile, an American
journalist who works for the
Jerusalem Post was ousted
from Egypt last week.
Joan Borsten, who also
writes for the Los Angeles
Times and holds Israeli and
American passports, was
the second staff member of
Israel's English-language
daily so treated in the past
month.
She had visited Egypt 14
times during the last 18
months. But when she ar-
rived at Cairo airport at 4
a.m. local time Jan. 21 on a
flight from India, Borsten's
passport was confiscated
and she was forced to re-
main in the transit lounge
for six hours under surveil-
lance by. Egyptian security
agents. She was sub-
sequently placed aboard an
Egyptian airliner and flown
to Tel Aviv.
Last month Egyptian
authorities deported Annan
Safadi, the Jerusalem Post's
Middle East affairs editor,
after he wrote an article
about alleged differences
between President Anwar
Sadat and Vice President
Hosni Mubarak.
Summer Abroad
Program Offered
at American U.
WASHINGTON — Stu-
dents and professionals will
have an opportunity to
study America's relation-
ship with the Holy Land and
to form their own ties in
Jerusalem through Ameri-
can University's Summer
Abroad Programs.
"From America to Zion,"
a three credit course, will
take students from the Na-
tional Archives in Wash-
ington to the Public Record
Office in London to the Cen-
tral Zionist Archives in
Jerusalem where they will
research the America-Holy
Land relationship. Students
will also visit the Central
Archives for History of the
Jewish People and the Oral
History Division of the In-
stitute of Contemporary
Jewry in Jerusalem.

Fools rush in where
angels fear to tread.
A ban against the
paper was announced in
Cairo although it was not
immediately clear
whether it applied to all
Jerusalem Post readers
or Safadi alone.
Several days ago, an offi-
cial of the Egyptian Em-
bassy in Tel Aviv informed
the Post that Borsten would
be admitted to Egypt on a
U.S. passport as a represen-
tative of the LA Times.
Israeli political circles
were said to regard the
Egyptian attitude toward
Post reporters as "serious."
Efforts to have the ban
lifted have failed so far.
Borsten said she told im-
migration officials in Cairo
that she was on assignment
from the LA Times but was
informed by them that her
name was on a "black list."
The Egyptians told her she
could not enter the country
for political reasons but did
not mention her affiliation
with the Jerusalem Post,
Borsten said on her return
to Israel.
