Thatcher In
Israel For
Official Visit
Jerusalem (JTA) — Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher
was visibly shaken as she toured
the Yad Vashem Holocaust
Memorial Museum here last
Sunday, the first full day of the
visit of an incumbent British
Prime Minister to Israel.
Pausing at the photograph of
a German soldier shooting a
Jewish mother and her child, she
exclaimed. "It is so terrible.
Everyone should come and see
it so that they never forget."
She placed a wreath at the
memorial to the six million.
Thatcher arrived in Israel ac-
companied by her husband,
Denis Thatcher. She was greet-
ed at Ben Gurion Airport by
Prime Minister Shimon Peres,
Foreign Minister Yitzhak Sha-
mir, Knesset Speaker Shlomo
Hillel and other dignitaries. In
remarks to reporters after she
stepped down from a Royal Air
Force plane, the British leader
expressed concern that the
peace process "appears to have
lost momentum in recent
months."
"I don't believe that is your
wish or that of the moderate,
- far-sighted Arab leaders with
whom I have talked in recent
months," she said, adding that
she hoped her visit would help
get the stalled peace process
moving again.
Thatcher lunched with Presi-
dent Chaim Herzog who praised
her anti-terrorist policies and
said the Israeli people stood
beside her in this. Herzog, who
was born in Ireland, noted that
the people of Israel have always
distinguished between their feel-
ings of respect for British tradi-
tion and the "less pleasant
aspects of our ties in the past,"
a reference to Israel's struggle
for independence in the final
years of British Mandate rule in
Palestine. He expressed hope
that her talks in Israel would
help her better understand
Israel's problems.
Israel Rejects
Education,
Pension Taxes
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
government last week tevoscle
an earlier decision to inwo$e,:an
education tax and to tax retire-
ment pensions. The turn-about
came after strong public pres-
sure against both levies.
Finance Minister Moshe
Nissim announced the charges
at a meeting with leaders of the
Labor-Likud Unity Coalition, at-
tended by Prime Minister
Shimon Peres. But it means
that the Treasury will have to
find alternative sources of
revenue. Another controversial
tax — a heavy levy on cars — is
also under public attack. It was
imposed originally as a "tern-
porary" measure to balance the
national budget but remains in
effect, to the anger of car
owners.
