a former Chief of Staff,
charged that Begin bore a
share of the responsibility
for the internal violence in
Israel that followed publica-
tion of the report. He said
Begin was responsible be-
cause of his inflammatory
statements and his failure
to condemn forcefully the
outburst of verbal violence
by the government's sup-
porters.
Begin indicated to the
Knesset on Tuesday that his
government accepted the
recommendations of the
commission of inquiry into
the Beirut refugee camps
massacre only because Is-
rael is a country that lives
by the rule of law.
Heaping praise on the
outgoing Defense Minister
Ariel Sharon and the senior
army officers whose ousters
the commission called for,
Begin said the decision to
comply with the recom-
mendations was a very hard
one to take. He defended the
retention of Sharon in the
Cabinet, an issue over
which Israeli legal experts
are sharply divided.
The Knesset voted
61-56 Tuesday to approve
the Cabinet changes.
Begin will assume the re-
sponsibilities of Defense
Minister temporarily
until his choice for the
post, Ambassador Moshe
Arens, returns from
Washington. Arens' con-
firmation by the Knesset
is a virtual certainty.
(There is speculation that
Arens will be replaced in
the U.S. by Israel's Am-
bassador to France Meir
Rosenne.)
The Knesset vote also
endorsed the decision to
keep Sharon on as a
Minister-Without-Portfolio.
That decision has been at-
tacked by prominent jurists
and sections of the press as a
circumvention of the com-
mission's intentions. But
Begin cited legal opinion in
support of it, notably by At-
torney General Yitzhak

General Moshe Ben-Ze'ev,
and a former chairman of
the Knesset's Legal Com-
mittee, Zerach Warhaftig.
Begin also demanded an
apology from Time maga-
zine for publishing a report
in its latest edition that an
unpublished section of the
inquiry commission's find-
ings disclosed that Sharon
had encouraged the Chris-
tian Phalangists in Leba-
non to take revenge on the
Palestinians in the Sabra
and Shatila refugee camps.
According to Time he
did this at a secret meet-
ing with veteran Phalan-
gist leader Pierre
Gemayel the day after his
younger son, Lebanon's
President-elect Bashir
Gemayel, was assassi-
nated. Begin said the
Time allegation was
completely false and that
the American news
weekly owed Israel an
apology.
Begin met alone with
Sharon on Monday to dis-
cuss the handover of the de-
fense post. He also received,
separately, Chief of Staff
Rafael Eitan, who will com-
plete his term of service in
April. The inquiry commis-
sion was sharply critical of
Eitan for his failure to have
ordered the immediate re-
moval of the Phalangist
forces from Shatila and
Sabra camps upon his arri-
val in Beirut on Friday,
Sept. 17.
Begin also met with mili-
tary intelligence chief Gen.
Yehoshua Saguy, who was
blasted by the panel for
"breach of duty incumbent
on the director of military
intelligence," and ordered
that he be relieved of his
post. Israel Radio said
Saguy emerged red-eyed
from his meeting with the
Premier. The intention, it is
understood, is to find Saguy
another post within the Is-
rael Defense Force.
Brig. Gen. Amos Yaron,
the immediate commander
of Israeli forces in Beirut,
also castigated by the in-
quiry panel, will also be of-
fered a senior IDF post that
is not a field command.
The commission recom-
mended in his case that he
not be given a field com-
mand for at least three
years for his failure to act on
the night of Sept. 16 when
initial reports of 300 dead
civilians filtered out of the
camps and reached him.
An ebullient Sharon
made his first public ap-
pearance, several hours
after he announced his
resignation, at a meeting
of the Israel Bar Associa-
tion in Tel Aviv. He was
clearly buoyed by the
standing ovation he re-
ceived and joked with his
supporters in the audi-
ence.
He told the meeting that
the main reason he opposed
accepting the inquiry corn-
mission's report was its
reference to Israel's "indi-
rect responsibility" for the
massacre of Palestinians in
the Sabra and Shatila
camps in west Beirut. "This
is completely untrue," Sha-
ron declared. "Israel bears
no responsibility, either di-
rect or indirect, for what
happened there. But it will
be used by our enemies and
brand us with a mark of
Cain for many years to
come."
Sharon took formal leave
of the Defense Ministry on
Monday with full pomp and
military ceremony. Army
officers and senior officials
invited to the farewell pro-
ceedings expressed surprise
at the extensive publicity
arrangements for what is
normally a quiet event
