Security sources have branded it subversive and Premier Yitzhak Shamir has outlawed it in his capacity as acting Defense Minister. Defense Minister Moshe Arens, presently in the United States, was notified of the action last Friday. It was reported that he will meet with representatives of the new group on his re- turn later this week and will decide then whether or not to outlaw it. Under the law, only the Defense Minister may out- law a political group on grounds that it posed a se- curity threat to the state. Security sources have charged that the faction constitutes an attempt to introduce supporters of the Palestine Liberation Organization into the Knesset. They noted that its plat- form refers to a future inde- pendent Palestinian state without defining its bor- ders. It recognizes the exist- ence of the State of Israel, but only within the borders of June 4, 1967, before the Six-Day War. The participation of Jews in the election list is an at- tempt to camouflage the real purpose of the new fac- tion, according to Moshe Kochanovsky, legal adviser to the Defense Ministry. The main Jewish compo- nent is "alternative," a splinter faction of the leftist Sheli party headed by Gen. (res) Matityahu• Peled. Peled has the No. 2 spot on the list. The top spot is occupied by an Arab attorney, Mohammad Miari. Miari was, in the 1950s, a member of the outlawed Arab group Al-Ard. The Supreme Court ruled at that time that Al-Ard "totally negated the existence of the State of Is- rael, particularly in its pre- sent borders." Although the "Progress- ive List for Peace" clearly differs from Al-Ard insofar as it recognizes the Israeli state, that, Kochanovsky charges, is only "a tactical move" intended to meet the criteria of the Central Elec- tions Committee. Miari retorted that the platform reflects the honest opinions of all of the partici- pants. He admitted, how- ever, that various opinions had been expressed before the platform was adopted. The spokesmen of several other. parties .have, con, demned moves to outlaw the list. 'Notable among them was Interior Minister Yosef Burg of the National Reli- gious Party who is opposed to government intervention in the electoral process.. Meanwhile, demands have been made to outlaw Rabbi Meir Kahane's radi- cal right-wing Kach party which occupies the other ex- treme of the political spec- trum. In a related development, former Defense Minister Ariel Sharon has been put in charge of special projects for the Likud election cam- paign. The announcement came only a day after a group of parents whose sons were killed in the Lebanon war, demanded that Sharon re- move himself from the Likud election list. The Bereaved Parents Association is asking for a special inquiry into two in- cidents in the Lebanese war. They contend that Sharon was directly respon- sible for orders which led to the deaths of 40 soldiers. Meanwhile, the National Religious Party presented its list for the July 23 elec- tions to the Central Elec- -tions Committee just before the deadline, averting a crisis that threatened to split the party's already di- minished Knesset faction. The list represented a last-minute compromise be- tween Burg who heads the NRP's Knesset representa- tion which was reduced by half in the 1981 elections, suffers further losses in the July voting. The religious party was threatened by a split earlier when Hammer and former Deputy Foreign Minister Yehuda Ben-Meir an- nounced they were quitting the NRP to form a new fac- tion, "Gesher," which would stand for election on its own. The two men had the ap- proval of the Knesset House Committee and would have qualified for election cam- paign subsidies from the government. Israel's other religious party, the Aguda Israel, also reached a last minute agreement on its election list after weeks of wrangl- ing. Veteran Avraham Shapiro will head the Aguda list, followed by Menachem Porush, Shimon Siroka and Shmuel Helpert. Another veteran, Shlomo Lorincz, who has been on Aguda MK for 33 years, an- nounced he would retire. New president of Germany is an old friend of Israel Bonn (JTA) — Baron Richard Von Weizsaecker, who will be sworn in on July 1 as the sixth president of the West German Federal Republic, is widely known as a politician friendly to Is- rael who has always demon- strated deep sympathy toward the Jewish people. Weizsaecker, a member of the ruling Christian Demo- cratic Union (CDU), was overwhelmingly elected by parliament to succeed President Karl Carstens who has completed his five-year term in what is largely a ceremonial office. Karstens and his pre- deCessor, President Walter Schneel, had both been members of the Nazi Party during. the tenure of the Third Reich. While both professed sympathy and sol- idarity with Jews, there was always a lingering suspi- cion that they were seeking to enhance their personal reputations. Weizsaecker, a Wehrmacht officer during World War II, was one of the few survivors of the group of senior officers who at- tempted to assassinate Hit- ler in 1944. Although his father, the late Baron Ernst Weiz- . saecker, was a Nazi and • served a two-year prison term after the war for his part in deporting Jews, the president-elect is consid- ered sincere in his friend- ship toward the Jewish people and Israel. A former mayor of West Berlin, he is said to view the reunifica- tion of Jerusalem under Is- raeli rule as a source of hope that the two Berlins, the former capital of Germany, some day will be reunited. On a visit to Jerusalem in 1982, when he was still mayor of West Berlin, Weiz- saecker pointedly expressed hope that the division of his home city will eventually end.
