Saudis' Revived 'Peace' Plan Demolished
Saudi Arabia's so-called
"peace" proposal, first pre-
sented in 1976 and rejected
in the UN by the U.S., NLas
again introduced last
August and revived this Oc-
tober. It was demolished by
the American Jewish Con-
gress' Phil Baum and
Raphael Danziger in a
statement published last
Friday in the New York
Times. Their joint state-
ment points out the follow-
ing:
The State Department's
carefully calibrated
endorsement of the Saudi
"peace' plan cannot be con-
sidered as anything but an
abandonment of previous
U.S positions. It is espe-
cially distressing that the
department should try to
pass off this plan as some
kind of version of Security
Council Resolution 242. It is
not. It is a reversal of 242.
Article 1 of the Saudi plan
demands "Israeli evacua-
tion of all Arab territories
seized during the 1967
Mideast war, including the
Arab sector of Jerusalem"
(emphasis added); Article 1
(i) of Resolution 242
merely calls for "with-
drawal of Israeli armed
forces from territories occu-
pied in the recent conflict."
Efforts to include terms like
"All" the territories were
explicitly rejected and the
words deliberately omitted
from 242.
Article 2 of the Saudi
plan requires "dismantl-
ing the settlements set up
by Israel on the occupied
lands." No such condi-
tion exists ill 242.
Articles 4 to 6 of the Saudi
plan are the reason for
Yasir Arafat's endorsement
of it. While Article 2 (b) of
Resolution 242 merely af-
firms the necessity for
"achieving a just settlement
of the refugee problem," the
Saudi articles assert the
"rights" of the Palestinian
people and demand "setting
up a Palestinian state with
East Jerusalem as its capi-
tal" following a very brief
transitional period.
Article 7, "affirming the
right of all countries of the
region to live in peace," falls
far short of Article 1 (i) of
242, which calls for the
"terminating of all claims or
states of belligerency and
respect for and acknowl-
edgement of the sover-
eignty, territorial integrity
and political independence
of every state in the area
and their right to live in
peace within secure and
recognized boundaries free
from threats or acts of
force."
And yet the State De-
partment praised the con-
tents of Article 7 as im-
plicitly recognizing Israel's
right to exist.

Woman Leads Hungarian Jewry
By MOSHE RON
The Jewish News Special
Israel Correspondent
TEL AVIV — The late Dr.
Geza Seifert was for 12
years the leader of the
Jewish community in Hun-
gary. Today, his wife Ilena
is his successor. According
to a Hungarian custom
women adopt the name of
their husband and Dr. Geza
Seifert, an elegant woman,
is today the General Sec-
retary of the community.
When this office was of-
fered her after the death of
her husband, she asked the
Orthodox Chief Rabbi,
Moshe Weiss, if it was
against the Torah for a
woman to take such a job.
The Chief Rabbi answered
that nowhere was it written
that a general secretary of a
Jewish community has to be
a man.
The Orthodox commu-
nity, headed by Herman
Fixler, has good relations
with Dr. Seifert. The doors
to the government offices
are open to her. She speaks
fluent English, participates
in international meetings of
the Jewish World Congress,
the Joint Distribution
Committee and other
organizations.
Her office is furnished
with taste. On her table
there are several souvenirs
from Israel. Everybody
likes her, as she is modest
and tries to help everybody.
Dr. Seifert wants to in-
crease 'the number of
beds in the Jewish hospi-
tal and kosher rations in
the kitchens of the
Jewish community. She
provides for meals in the
Jewish kindergarden.
She has contacts with
high officials in the gov-
ernment.
There is a permanent con-
tact between Jews in
Budapest and Israel, which
is hampered by the lack of
diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries. Dr.
Seifert speaks warmly
about Israel. She looks for-

ward to the day when dip-
lomatic relations will be re-
newed.
The Jews in Hungary
enjoy equal rights like all
the other religious com-
munities, Dr. Seifert told
us. All religious and social
institutions are supported
by the Hungarian Govern-
ment. "I refer especially to
the Jewish school, hospital,
old age home and kinder-
garten," she said. "Recently
a building was turned into a
restaurant for old people.
Thousands of free meals are
served daily at this restau-
rant. The construction firm
did not demand any pay-
ment for its work."
"But we do not lack wor-
ries," Dr. Seifert says. "In
many villages where Jews
used to live, there is nobody
to care for the cemeteries
and vacant synagogues. The
government is ready to fi-
nance the care, but there is
nobody left to do it."
The Jewish community in
Hungary is the largest in
Eastern Europe after the
Soviet Union. There are ap-
proximately 100,000 Jews
living in Hungary, 80,000 of
them in Budapest. Not all
Jews belong to the Jewish
community. Some, espe-
cially high officials and in-
tellectuals, refrain from
demonstrating their Jewish
faith. .
