Friday, July 31, 1981 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS _ Knesset Endorses Sinai Peace Force JERUSALEM — The Knesset on Tuesday endorsed by a massive majority the Israel-Egypt- U.S. agreement setting up the - Multinational Force and Observers" (MFO) for peacekeeping in the Sinai after Israel's final with- drawal next year. Likud, Labor and the religious par- ties joined together in a resolution approving the agreement, leaving only Tehiya and the Hadash Communists voting against it. Two Likud members, 'ever, abstained. They ..e Prof. Moshe Arens, chairman of the Foreign Af- fairs and Defense Commit- tee in the ninth Knesset, and newcomer David Ma- gen, also. of Likud-Herut and mayor of Kiryat Gat. They were joined by NRP hardliner Rabbi Haim Druckman. The agreement was to be signed at a White .House ceremony today, • with President Reagan repre- senting the 'U.S. and the foreign ministers of Israel and Egypt representing their countries. As part of the agree- ,ment, the U.S. will con- tinue with its surveil- lance flights , over the Sinai. These flights have been in operation since 1975 and have assisted the parties in monitoring the various demilitariza- tion and limitation-of- forces zones. After Israel's final with- drawal on April 26, 1982, the flights will extend to cover "Zone D," the thin strip on the Israeli side of SAY IT WITH TREES the border in which a limitation-of-forces applies to the IDF. The MFO agreement pro- vides for three batallions of troops (one from the U.S.) together totaling not more than 2,000 men; and air, sea, logistics and observer units. Observers will be Ameri- can civilians and their duty, as defined by the treaty is to police "Zone D." One of the letters com- prising the agreement,says that the U.S. will in the fu- ture "use its best efforts to find acceptable replacement of contingents that with- draw from MFO" and that "the U.S. remains prepared to take those steps' neces- sary to ensure the mainte- nance of an acceptable MFO." Israeli sources say this letter confirms and strengthens the original commitment by President Carter to es- tablish and maintain the MFO. The American Un- dertaking is, in effect, openended. But former Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan, the man responsible for negotiating the peace treaty, warned the Knesset, during the debate that the MFO is an integral part of, and is contingent upon, the peace treaty, and depends too on America's ongoing desire to maintain it. If one party should abrogate the peace treaty, said Dayan, the MFO would have no more validity, and if Wash- ington should decide to withdraw itsi men the force would melt away regardless of any wording in any agreement. For that reason, Dayan OK BETTER !

Barry said he had been impressed especially by the . energy and dedication of Jerusalem's Mayor Teddy Kollek, whom he described, admiringly, as a man of the '70s. He had also im- pressed, he said, by the di- versity of the population and the city administra, tion's ability to provide equal education for all the minority groups without pressing for integration. Barry said he had been surprised by the large number of Jerusalemites in all walks of life who owned a cooperative or c1111h- dorninium apartments, a situation made possible by generous state subsidies. In Washington, conversion of apartments to tenant own, ership had led to displace- ment and economic hard- ships. Among other experi..=.::::. ences, Barry recounted his visit to Yad Vashem,- the memorial to the 6,000,000 Jewish victims of Nazism.
