Abba Eban: Advocating a U.S. role Tel Aviv (JTA) — Abba Eban, the former Foreign Minister who currently chairs the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, would like to see the United States embark once more on "an era of controlled activism" in the Middle East. The time has come for the U.S. to take new initiatives in the region, Eban said last week. "The U.S. seems now to be much less disposed to enter the arena than it was a few years ago." he conceded that many- Israelis would prefer no new American initiatives. However, the Israeli diplomat said, "My own feeling is that we gained a great deal from Ameri- can activity in the five years from 1974 to 1979." He enumerated the five agree- ments concluded in that period between Israel and its neighbors through U.S. mediation: the dis- engagement agreements with Egypt and Syria after the Yom Kippur War; the Sinai interim agreement with Egypt; the Camp David agreement and finally the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty signed in 1979. "I think it is about time for the wheel to turn into an era of con- trolled activism," Eban said. He suggested in that context "help- ing us mediate a settlement in Lebanon such as would enable us to move out of Lebanon without endangering our security, if they (the Americans) would develop their relations with Syria to that end; if they would work for a more warm human content in relations between Egypt and Israel; and if they would then investigate the possibility of an Israeli-Jordan negotiation on the basis of (UN Security Council) Resolution 242." Eban said American activity, in that order of priority, "would be more useful than for all of us to sit back and do nothing." He added, "I have a traumatic recollection which tells me that periods of dip- lomatic inactivity usually end in war and do not end in peace." Eban said there was nothing in the Labor-Likud unity coalition agreement to prevent the gov- ernment from implementing the national consensus for dis- engagement from Lebanon. He observed that every week Is- rael stayed in Lebanon seemed to increase the rancor of the Shiite Moslems, the majority population in South Lebanon. "We seem to have exchanged PLO rancor for a rancor and a hatred which is even more intense, because instead of a few thousand PLO people we have three quarters of a million Shiites and a great danger they will be- come our enemies. It is therefore very urgent to find an exit " from Lebanon, Eban said. Dr. Clinton Bailey, a Tel Aviv University authority on the Shiites, said he thought Eban's analysis was essentially correct but that Shiite hostility toward Israel was not necessarily a per- manent phenomenon. Compensation for doctor Tel Aviv (JTA) — A heart at- tack suffered by a Haifa surgeon after performig four operations on cancer patients found to be termi- nal has been recognized by the National Insurance Institute as a work-related accident. Dr. Fridel Kretchner, of the Carmel Hospital's surgical de- partment, claimed compensation in the Haifa district court for the heart attack he suffered 18 months ago. He said that he had operated on four patients within a short time, and in each case, after beginning the operations, he had found that the stomach cancer growth was inoperable and the patients were doomed to die within weeks or months. He said that after the operating session he had got into his car to drive home in a very depressed state. He- had suddenly blacked out and crashed into two other cars. He said his depression and loss of consciousness, from a heart at- tack, was due to his work. After the evidence had been presented in the court the repre- sentative of the National Insur- ance Institute rose to say the gov- ernment institute was prepared to accept the claim of a work-related accident. The judge gave legal force to the institute's acknowledgement, and the surgeon will receive financial compensation.
