FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1988
Jerusalem (JTA) — As
unrest in the administered
territories continued, Israeli
officials claimed that the
country's forests are being
raved by deliberately set fires
in recent weeks. Prime Min-
ister Yitzhak Shamir referred
to the arsonists as "those who
attack our natural resources
. . . criminal enemies."
Although forestry experts
have pointed fingers at
careless Israelis, the majority
of the fires, which have rav-
aged over 25,000 acres of land
in just five weeks, are at-
tributed to arson perpetrated
by Palestinians, a new form of
fighting in the "intifada," the
six-month-old Palestinian
uprising.
This past weekend, police
arrested four Arabs suspected
of having ignited a significant
number of fires that
devastated thousands of acres
throughout the country
Friday.
This latest wave of fires
strengthened the belief that
Arabs within the Green Line
and in the Israeli-adminis-
tered territories have resorted
to arson as another means of
political protest.
The Cabinet heard reports
on the fires that have swept
the country in recent weeks.
Since the beginning of May,
160 fires have destroyed
about 120,000 trees and
thousands of acres of
grasslands.
In other developments, a
Palestinian youth was killed
and several were wounded in
violence that erupted on the
West Bank and Gaza Strip to
mark the six month anniver-
sary of the start of the
"intifada." The violence shat-
tered a week of relative calm
during which many Israeli of-
ficials maintained that the
uprising was on the wane.
Palestinians in the ter-
ritories, obeying instructions
in leaflet No. 19 circulated by
the Palestinian nationalist
underground, observed a
general strike, which was
almost totally effective.
Commerce was at a stand-
still, and nearly all schools
were closed, while residents of
the territories marched,
demonstrated and clashed
with Israeli security forces.
The worst violence occurred
in the West Bank. Troops
fired tear gas, rubber bullets
and live ammunition to dis-
perse rioters in Tulkarm and
adjacent refugee camps.
Curfews were imposed on the
town and the camp.

Jerusalem (JTA) — Prime
Minister Yitzhak Shamir, ar-
riving in Israel from New
York, said that Soviet Foreign
Minister Eduard Shevard-
nadze told him there are no
limitations in the USSR on
Jewish emigration, and that
the Soviet government "does
not care" where those Jews
who leave choose to go.
Shamir, who met the Soviet
official at the U.N. last week,
quoted Shevardnadze as say-
ing he "does not care where
they (the Jews) go. He said it
was not their (the Soviets) in-
terest or concern . . . They can
go wherever they want."
This revelation flies in the
face of years of official Israeli
pronouncements that the
Soviet authorities cannot sup-
port the high drop-out rate of
Jews going elsewhere than to
Israel.
Israeli government and
Jewish Agency leaders have
argued for many years that
the dropouts endanger the en-
tire Soviet Jewish exodus.
Shamir added that
Shevardnadze had predicted
that fewer and fewer Soviet
Jews would want to leave the
country as the reforms of
Glasnost and Perestroika con-
tinue to change the patterns
of life there.
The Soviet official also
claimed, according to Shamir,
that the authorities do not
restrict religious life and
would even like to help — but
the problem was that the
Jews were so widely spread
out throughout the country.
The meeting between the
two leaders underscores the
new warmth between the
countries. In another develop-
ment, an Israeli consular
delegation will go to Moscow
next month and may be
allowed to deal with matters
relating to Soviet Jewish
emigration, Shamir announc-
ed after his meeting with
Shevardnadze.
At his own session with
reporters following their
meeting, Shevardnadze said
the Israel visit would be in
reciprocation for the Soviet
consular delegation that has
been in Israel since 1987.
