Tel Aviv (JTA) — President
Chaim Herzog is angered by the
Interior Ministry's boycott of his
official visit to Nazareth last
Thursday and has demanded to
know why no government repre-
sentatives were on hand and the
arrangements were left entirely
to the municipal authorities.
Nazareth, in Galilee, is Israel's
largest Arab town. Herzog is the
first Israeli President in 25 years
to pay an official visit there, the
last having been the late
President Yitzhak Ben-Zvi in
1959.
The welcoming ceremonies
were arranged by Mayor Tawfik
Zayyad, a Knesset member repre-
senting the Communist-led
Democratic Front for Peace and
Equality. The Interior Ministry,
normally involved in such mat-
ters, remained aloof and failed to
send an official, apparently fol-
lowing a policy line of its own.

Seven wounded
in bus ambush
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Seven per-
sons were wounded in a terrorist
highway ambush South of
Beersheba Monday night. Five of
the victims were the passengers
and driver of an Egged bus bound
for Kiryat Arba near Hebron and
two were Arabs in a car behind
the bus. The bus driver suffered
head wounds.
According to a bus passenger,
the vehicle was hit by automatic
fire from an olive grove on the
roadside. Security forces clamped
a curfew on the nearby Al-Khader
and Dehaisha refugee camps.
They also turned back a group of
militant Jewish demonstrators
who marched on the Dehaisha
camp from Kiryat Arba, led by
Gush Emunim leader Rabbi
Moshe Levinger.
The ambush came at the end of
a day of relative quiet on the West
Bank and Gaza Strip. There were
only a few incidents of stone-
throwing and demonstrations in
the territories to mark the second
anniversary of the Sabra and
Shatila refugee camps massacre.

An angry Herzog blasts Interior
Ministry.
representative for the northern
district, openly opposed the visit
on grounds that it would be seen
as a political act encouraging the
town's Communist administra-
tion. Herzog rejected that view
and at a meeting with Koenig be-
fore going to Nazareth, made it
clear that he is President of all
Israeli citizens.
When Herzog's visit was
planned, the Likud-led caretaker
government was still in office and
the Interior Ministry was headed
by Yosef Burg of the National
Religious Party. Under the new
unity government which took
office last Friday, the portfolio is
temporarily held by Premier
Shimon Peres and it is he who
presumably will be called upon to
reply to Herzog's complaint.
According to Mayor Zayyad, the
warm, spontaneous reception
given the Israeli President ex-
ceeded all expectations. During
his visit, Herzog stressed that
equality, peace and justice are in-
divisible, and that the articles of
Israel's Declaration of Indepen-
dence are not given to selective
interpretation.
His remarks were seen as an-
other slap at Meir Kahane's ex-
tremist Kach party which de-
mands the ouster of all Arabs
from Israel.
