Chief Rabbis Shlomo Goren and Ovadia Yosef are approaching the end of a 10-year term in office and according to a law passed by the Knesset they are not allowed to run again. There are many candi- dates for this high office. But as the date of the elec- tions approaches, the two Chief Rabbis insisted on a chance to remain in office for another term. Rabbi Goren appealed to Prime Minister Menahem begin to use his influence to prolong the term of office for another five years. But there is no majority in the Knesset for this proposal. Minister for Justice Moshe Nissim and the Minister for Internal Af- fairs Dr. Yosef Burg are op- posed to it. A compromise was adopted to try and change the law allowing the present Chief Rabbis to run again for office, to- gether with other candi- dates. Partisans of the two Chief Rabbis circulated a petition among the rabbis in Israel for allowing the two Chief Rabbis to stay in office for another term, but many rabbis refused to sign. In case of an open candi- dacy, the Sefardi Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef has a much better chance to be re-elected. The two Chief Rabbis, who have quarreled for many years, have stop- ped their controversies and established a united front for their goal, in order that the Sefardi and Ashkenazi electors should support their candidacy. Their goal has been opposed by many in the Israeli media.

Meanwhile, the new El Al management's plans for special $499 round- trip fares from New York to Tel Aviv and equally low fares from Tel Aviv to Europe have met with re- sistance from other air- lines which have threatened to take action, possibly by cancelling their flights to Israel be- cause of what they term "unfair competition."

He also said that African countries which have ac- cepted invitations to the games are Kenya, the Ivory Coast and Zaire. Ofek surprised his audience by announcing that Egypt likewise had accepted an invitation, but said he was not cer- tain whether Egypt would follow through and send a team because of the change in the polit- ical situation in the Mid- dle East between the time it accepted the invitation and now. In addition, Ofek said he was meeting with the president of the Lebanese Olympic Committee delega- tion in Los Angeles this week and intended to invite him to send athletes to the May events, which he termed "the Peace Games." The president of the Lebanese Olympic Commit- tee is Pierre Gemayel, the father of the President Amin Gemayel. Represen- tatives of Olympic Commit- tees from around the world, including Israel, are meet- ing this week in Los Angeles. JERUSALEM — Israeli Tourism Minister Avraham Sharir caused a furor in Is- rael last week by claiming that part of the reason Is- rael invaded Lebanon was to disrupt a nonaggression pact the Palestine Libera- tion Organization had sought with Israel. Sharir's remarks at an Is- rael Bond meeting in Paris were quoted by the Paris correspondents of Yediot Ahronot and Davar. Sharir later claimed he was mis- quoted. who are to be dismissed has already been prepared, and the entire list will be com- pleted shortly. NEW YORK (JTA) — El Al will resume service be- tween New York and Tel Aviv. The first flight will depart from Kennedy Air- port on Sunday and there will be two flights weekly thereafter. El Al was grounded by labor disputes four months ago. Its last flight from New York was on Sept. 13. The airline also an- nounced the closing of six of its European offices within the next few days and dis- missal of dozens of its Israeli workers there. Closure of the offices in Brussels, Copenhagen, 'Marseilles, Bucharest, Munich and Lisbon will save an estimated $550,000 annually. Airline sources say a list of half of the 750 permanent El Al employes Latin Americans to Compete in Hapoel Games in Israel.
