UN Choice
Hit by Blum
UNITED NATIONS —
The election of Iraq's Ismat
Kittani as president of the
United Nations 36th Gen-
eral Assembly has drawn
criticism from Yehuda
Blum, Israel's delegate to
the UN.
Blum said the outcome of
Tuesday's .election repre-
sented "a measure of the re-
grettable decline of the '4
United Nations' status."
Kittani claimed the vic-
tory when, in the third
round, his name was
selected by lot. The third
round procedure followed a
tie vote between Kittani
and his rival for the posi-
tion, Khwaja Mohammed
Kaiser of Bangladesh.
Egyptian Envoy
Praises Sharon's
W. B. Measures
UNITED NATIONS
(JTA) — Ambassador
Ahmed Esmat Abdel
Meguid of Egypt praised the
"new lenient measures
toward Arabs on the West
Bank initiated by Defense
Minister Ariel Sharon (of
Israel), who is a hawk."
Addressing a leadership
mission of Agudath Israel of
America at the UN head-
quarters last week, in whcih
125 members of the organ-
ization participated,
Meguid said that 'the new
measures would help in the
"building of confidence" be-
tween Arabs and Jews. The
Egyptian envoy said that
Israel should have "'pa-
tience" with the process of
normalization of relations
with Egypt and urged the
Jewish state to "take risks
for peace."
Asked "how Egypt can
expect Israel to trust the
PLO" Meguid replied that
"there are non-radical ele-
ments amongst the Palesti-
nians that Israel could talk
to."
Religious Groups
Back Recognition
of Israel's MDA
MIAMI BEACH — The
Swiss Council of Bishops,
the World Lutheran Fel-
lowship and the U.S. Con-
ference of Bishops of the
Catholic Church are among
the dozens of religious
organizations throughout
the world that back recogni-
tion of Israel's Magen David
Adorn Society (MDA) by the
International Red Cross,
according to Rabbi Rubin R.
Dobin, chairMan of Opera-
tion Recognition.
Although MDA fulfills
nine of the 10 criteria for
admission to the Red Cross,
it is excluded because it uses
the Red Shield of David as
its emblem. The matter will
be discussed at the Interna-
tional Red Cross Conference
scheduled for November in
Manila.
