Washington Trip for Shamir?

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Moderate members of Pre-
mier Menahem Begin's
Cabinet who are still,anx-
ious to pursue a diplomatic
solution to the impasse in
Lebanon are believed to be
pressing Begin to send
Foreign Minister Yitzhak
Shamir to Washington
without delay to discuss the
situation with the new Sec-

retary of State George
Shultz, and other Adminis-
tration leaders.

Begin apparently would
prefer Shultz to come to Is-
rael and take over the dip-
lomatic efforts in Lebanon
himself. He reportedly
hinted this in conversations
with visiting Americans in
the last few days.

U.S. Seen As Key to Solving M.E. Crisis

By DAVID LANDAU

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
With the negotiations
under U.S. envoy Philip
Habib in Beirut still appa-
rently stalemated, hope for
a peaceable settlement to
the crisis in Lebanon fo-
cused on Washington this
week where the foreign
ministers of Syria and
Saudi Arabia held talks
with American policy-
makers.
According to reports from
Beirut, Syria's attitude is
now crucial— in the stale-
mate and in the hopes to re-
solve it. Syria suddenly an-
nounced last weekend a re-
versal of its earlier readi-
ness to take in the esti-
mated 5,000-6,000 Pales-

In this 34th anniversary year of Israel's renewed independence, what
more appropriate way to mark Tisha B'Av than by affirming our solidarity
with the people of Israel by redeeming and developing the land of Israel.

Tisha B'Av is the occasion when Jews everywhere recall the destruction
of the Holy Temple, that traumatic event which ushered in two millenia of
Jewish dispersion and statelessness. It is also a time to give thanks for
the miracle of Israel reborn in our lifetime and the restoration of Jewish
sovereignty in our historic homeland.

MORE GENEROUS THIS TISHA b'AV

Over the years it has become a proud tradition for synagogues through-
out the United States to conduct appeals or other fund raising functions
during their Tisha B'Av observances for the Jewish National Fund. This
year, more than ever, as Israel faces a time of crisis and chal-
Ienge,the members of all congregations will want to join JNF in bringing
new life and color to the remaining wastelands of the Jewish State.

SO, AS HAS BEEN THE PRACTICE IN PREVIOUS YEARS, WE
KNOW THAT THE LEADERSHIP CAN BE COUNTED ON TO ENLIST
THE SUPPORT AND PARTICIPATION OF THEIR CONGREGATIONS
BY CONDUCTING APPEALS ON SHABBAT CHAZON, BEFORE
KINOTH ON WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 28TH, AND ON
THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 29TH.

IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THOSE NOT ATTENDING THE
SYNAGOGUES ON TISHA B'AV CAN SEND THEIR CONTRIBU-
TIONS DIRECTLY TO THE OFFICE OF THE JEWISH NATIONAL
FUND.

president wrote bluntly
that an Israeli "assault" on
the besieged part of the city
would "grievously affect our
bilateral relations."
The warning seemed to
have a sobering effect here.
The theme appeared to
change from "time is run-
ning out . . ." to "Habib will
have the time he says he
needs." Begin told the
Cabinet July 11 that Israel
must avoid falling out with
Washington over the Beirut
crisis, although at the same
time he stressed that Israel
could not allow the present
situation to go on indefi-
nitely.

cal lesson of Barcelona dur-
ing the Spanish civil war in
1936 when it took Gen.
Francisco Franco three
months of bloody street
fighting to capture the
Loyalist-held 'city. Burg's
message was clear, he does
not want Beirut to become
Israel's Barcelona.
Other ministers are
known to share his fears
and doubts. Among them
are Zevulun Hammer,.Mor-
dechai Zipori, David Levy
and possibly even -Simha
Ehrlich. (Both Levy and
Ehrlich are Deputy Pre-
miers). If it came to a vote
these ministers would
perhaps not comprise a
majority, but they would be
an impressive and powerful
minority.

Premier Menahem Be-
gin, naturally, would be
reluctant to take such a
crucial decision without
broad-based Cabinet
consensus, especially
since the Knesset opposi-
tion is not supportive.

Basically, the dilemma
exercising all minds here is
whether armed invasion of
west Beirut, even if it led to
the utter defeat of the PLO,
would be worth the Israeli
casualties, the Palestinian
•and Lebanese deaths, the
massive civilian destruc-
tion, and the worldwide op-
probrium, all of which
would almost inevitably re-
sult.
The extent of that likely
opprobrium was rudely
brought home to Begin with
a stern message from Presi- .
dent Reagan, urging an al-
leviation of aspects of the

Ignorance of the law ex-

—John Selden

Government ministers
persistently point out this
paradox to Labor Party op-
position figures and to
others who oppose the use of

force in Beirut. They argue
that all Israelis, govern-
ment and opposition, want a
peaceable end if possible,
with maximum political
gains for Israel.
(Prime Minister Begin,
addressing visiting UJA
and Israel Bond leaders
Wednesday, emphasized
that there will be a two-
week deadline to get the
PLO out of Beirut and that
there will be no concessions
to this warning.)
