Israel to Ease Up in WB?
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Shlomo Ilya, head of the
civil administration on the
West Bank, hinted last
week that Israel will ease
some of the tough measures
it has taken in that territory
during the past two years.
He told a press conference
here that there is a "good
chance" that Palestinian
Arabs will take over the
administration of Arab
municipalities in the terri-
tory and indicated that Is-
rael will be less supportive
in the future of the Village
Leagues it set up on the
West Bank.
One of the primary aims
in the coming year is to
renew relations with West
Bank municipalities which
boycott the civil adminis-
tration and to increase the
financial support and serv-
ices Israel supplies to those
municipalities, Ilya said.
Most Arab mayors and
local council members
were summarily removed
by Israel from the offices
to which they were
elected in 1976, the last
time municipal elections
were held in the occupied
territories. That process,
which began shortly
after the Likud-led gov-
ernment was returned to
power in the 1981 elec-
tions, had as its rationale
the removal of Arab offi-
cials allegedly suppor-
tive of the Palestine Lib-
eration Organization.
They were replaced, in
many cases by Israel
army officers.
Ilya said nothing about
holding elections on the
West Bank. But he told re-
porters that Arab candi-
dates have been considered
for municipal posts in such
large towns as Hebron and
Ramallah. They have not
yet come forward to assume
them, he said, explaining
that the potential candi-
dates were exploring possi-
ble reactions and waiting to
see what other candidates
might 'do. Ilya also said he
was seeking more intensive
police enforcement in the
territories.
It is always the adventur-
ers who accomplish great
things.
