Jerusalem (JTA) — Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin will consider easing restrictions on the Palestinian population in the administered ter- ritories, according to two Knesset members. Amnon Rubinstein and Yit- zhak Artzi, members of the new Center movement, said Rabin's concessions would be contingent on the continua- tion of the present relative calm in the territories. Accor- ding to one report, they could include a reform of the ad- ministrative detention ap- peals process. Meanwhile, the head of the civil administration in the West Bank, Col. Rami Yadin, handed over a check for 35,000 shekels ($22,000) to a resident of Beita village, near Nablus, as compensation for the destruction of his home by the Israel Defense Force in April. The IDF demolished 14 homes in Peita as .a punitive measure against villagers who took part in an April 6 confrontation with teen-age Jewish hikers from the near- by settlement of Eilon Moreh. The man who received the check was found to have had no part in the incident, and the payment was an admis- sion of the IDF's error.
