Problems Still Facing Israel CARL ALPERT H aifa — The High Holy Days afford oppor- tunity for the in- dividual Israeli to take per- sonal spiritual stock, and for the nation as a whole to give thought to the issues and pro- blems which face it — and in some cases, divide it. There are a dozen major problems which, in my opinion, will face the country during the coming 12 months. Some of these items appear on my list annually, but circumstances affect their relative placement. The Economic Situation.

To yield may mean to forfeit all the gains made thus far. Religious-Secular Con- frontation. Extremism on the one side has provoked acts of extremism on the other, as the situation continues to heat up. The unsolved ques- tion as to "Who is a Jew?" can also seriously affect relations between Israel and the greater Diaspora, where the majority of Jews are not Orthodox. National Elections. As the term of the national unity government runs out, the two major parties prepare to com- pete for public support, with all the accompanying sharpening of political an- tagonisms. Will there be a swing to the left or to the right, or will there again be a deadlocked stalemate in the relative strength of the two major blocs? Terrorist Activity. Unrest in Judea, Samaria and Gaza has been sporadic and scat- tered, but it continues to take its toll both of Jews and of moderate Arabs. Will a strong hand repress the violence? Will Arab modera- tion be terrorized into silence and acquiescence in the ways of the extremists? Peace Talks. The call for an international conference on peace in the Middle East, with Russian participation and discussions with Jordan, has been pushed further down the list this year as be- ing less likely, but the subject remains on the agenda.
