Detroit, Mi. 48219 Experts Predict Israeli Ties In Eastern Europe (oseph(4ur CLOWN WANTS YOU TO JOIN HER IN NEWS 20% OFF Travelers Tower 26555 Evergreen Road Southfield, Mi. 48076 Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel will resume diplomatic ties with Poland and Hungary before such ties are formed with the Soviet Union, polit- ical sources here said last week. The sources claimed that ties with Poland — at the lowest diplomatic level of "in- terest sections" in Warsaw and Tel Aviv — are expected to be established this month followed by similar relations with Hungary. Poland's resumption of diplomatic contacts with Israel was initiated by War- saw, although this move ap- parently received the green light from Moscow, according to Israeli experts on Poland. That green light was given recently and, the experts noted, explains the delay in the implementation of the agreement in principle which was reached several months ago in talks between Israeli and Polish diplomats in Bonn. As for relations between Hungary and Israel, the two countries have had relative developed contacts for some time. Hungary, for example, has for the past three sum- mers been a popular destina- tion for Israeli tourists. The pending resumption of relations with Poland and Hungary is seen here as part of an overall effort by the Israeli Foreign Ministry to break the diplomatic ice in Soviet bloc nations, without directly tying it to the scheduled Israeli-Soviet con- sular talks in Helsinki. The assumption here is that the USSR announced the talks, albeit in the context of discussing Soviet assets in Israel, as a sign that the Rus- sians believe there may be some diplomatic movement in the Mideast soon. Moscow, according to this theory, does not want to be left out of the action. Another diplomatic ice- breaker between Soviet bloc countries and Israel was the visit here by an emissary of Rumania President Nicolae Ceausescu, who met with Prime Minister Shimon Peres and Deputy Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and reported- ly urged them to agree to an international peace con- ference to be attended by all the parties concerned, in- cluding the Soviet Union and the Palestine Liberation Organization. The mass circulation Yediot Achronot reported that El Al was making preparations for direct Tel Aviv-Warsaw flights. Poland, like Hungary, is open to Israeli tourists. According to reports re- cently, Mordechai Palitzur will represent Israel in War- saw. TWenty-five years ago, he served as Second Secretary of Israel's Embassy in Warsaw. Until recently, he served as Israel's Ambassador to the Dominican Republic. The tim- ing of Palitzur's departure to Warsaw, along with a number of staff members, depends on technical issues, particularly finding suitable housing. Yoav Biran, Deputy Direc- tor General of the Foreign Ministry, visited Poland to deal with those technical issues. He initiated work on the building that housed the Israel Embassy before Poland broke diplomatic relations in 1967. Israel has continued paying rent for the past 19 years. A Polish delegation is also in Israel, for the same pur- pose, to resituate its -office in the same building which served as its Embassy before the break in diplomatic rela- tions — the building of the Polish bank on Allenby Street in 1bl Aviv. In spite of the optimism in Jerusalem over these devel- opments, sources stressed that at this stage the ranks of representation by both Israel and Poland will remain at the low level "interest sections." Refusenik Arrives In Israel New York (JTA) — Alek- sandr Kushnir, 38, a refusenik since 1977, was reunited last week with his family in Israel, after 13 years separation, ac- cording to the National Con- ference on Soviet Jewry. His mother, Rachel, and his brother, Efim, have been in Israel since 1973. where his grandparents live. His father, Semyon, was killed in a tragic work accident in 1970, at the age of 42, in Odessa. Aleksandr, a construction engineer, studied nights and worked as a porter to support himself while living alone in Odessa. Having served in the Soviet Navy, he waited the customary five years from his demobilization to apply. However, since his applica- tion, he lived under constant threat of arrest. He could not find work in his profession and was forced to work as a building technician in a small town near Odessa. In a related development, Leningrad refusenik, Isaac Kogan, 40, and his family was promised an exit visa. Kogan who applied for visa in 1974, is an observant Jew. He gave classed in Tbrah and Talmud, and was recognized by Soviet Jews as one of the most knowledgeable Jews in the Soviet Union.
