Israelis' Africa
Trip Aborted
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
Foreign Ministry appears to have
foiled a scheduled visit by a dele-
gation of Knesset members and
two other Israeli political figures
to the opening of the parliament
in 'Ciskei, "a homeland" estab-
lished for blacks by the South Af-
rican government but not offi-
cially recognized by Israel.
Foreign Minister Yitzhak
Shamir in the past has ordered
Israeli officials not to meet with
visiting Ciskeians, despite the
relatively large number of Is-
raelis who have business interests
there. There is concern here that
ties with that country — which is
not recognized by the majority of
the world's nations — would
jeopardize efforts to improve rela-
tions with Black Africa.
Most members of the delegation
have already announced they
would cancel their trip. Likud Mk
Micha Reiser said he was sorry to
give up the trip but was convinced
by the arguments of the Foreign
Ministry that the visit would be
contrary to the interests of the
state.
However, Likud MK and Mayor
of Afula, Ovadia Elli, said that at
this stage he intended to go to
Ciskei since there was a great
measure of hypocrisy regarding
relations with South Africa, since
Israel was maintaining strong
ties with the Pretoria govern-
ment.
Besides Reiser and Elli, other
members of the would-be delega- .
tion are alignment MKs Binjamin:
Ben-Eliezer and Yitzhak Peretz,
Eli Kulas, David Magen, Haim
Kaufman, Amal Nasser Adin,
Teheshua Matza, of Likud as well
as Yogal Oriffel, the deputy
mayor of Tel Aviv (Herut), and
Micha Yinon, chairman of the
Broadcasting Authority (NRP)
and NRP' MK Avner Shaki.
According to one estimate,
there are some 11 Israeli com-
panies involved in business there.
