Israeli
security forces deported eight
Palestinian activists to
Lebanon on Monday, one day
after placing several key
Palestinian personalities in
detention.
Israeli sources said they
were determined to proceed
with such measures to strike
at the alleged leadership of
the Palestinian uprising,
despite protests by the U.S.
government.
The deportations, the first
carried out by Israel since
April, bring to nearly 30 the
number of Palestinians
deported since the uprising
began eight months ago.
News of the deportations set
off rioting in the town of
Gaza, where two of the
deportees resided.
Demonstrators blocked off
streets with garbage carts,
rocks and burning tires.

New York (JTA) —
Binyamin Ze'ev Begin, who
for years refused to follow in
the footsteps of his famous
father, former Premier
Menachem Begin, said that
he entered politics because
Israel is at a crossroads, "and
very serious decisions have to
be made"in the near future.
The 45-year-old Begin, who
captured 7th place on
Herut's upcoming election
slate and 13th place on the
Likud list, has overnight
become a political celebrity —
together with another
newcomer to Israeli politics,
former U.N. Ambassador
Benjamin Netanyahu.
In a recent interview Begin
refused to say whether his
father, whom the younger
Begin clearly resembles, had
anything to do with his sud-
den decision to enter politics.
"Look," he said, "I never
discuss what my father and I
discuss in private. Everybody
in Israel knows this by now."
Asked about his father, who
resigned in 1984 in the after-
math of the Lebanon war and
who has been leading a life of
solitude in his Jerusalem flat,
the younger Begin said, "He
is doing fine. Just fine
Begin said that he sees his
father often and that they last
met several days ago.
The younger Begin, who
has a doctorate in geology
and is an employee of the
Israeli Energy Ministry, said
that his decision to enter
politics was also influenced by
continued pressure from "my
friends and colleagues?'
Begin's sudden stardom has
come under fire in the Israeli
press, which attributes his
political success to his name
rather than his credentials.
Begin joins other Likud
politicians with famous last
names — such as Netanyahu
and Dan Meridor, a Knesset
member and son of Ya'akov
Meridor, a Herut leader who
was also a member of the
Knesset. They have become
known to the Israeli public as
the "princes?'
"Well, this is just a jour-
nalistic coin?' said the smil-
ing Begin, who is known to
his friends as Benny. "I can
live with it. I did not lose
much sleep because of it."
As for Likud's prospects in
the next election, scheduled
for Nov. 1, Begin said he
believes his party has a "very
good chance" to win the
elections.
He refused, however, to
speculate whether the upris-
ing in the West Bank and
Gaza, which entered its
eighth month last week, will
help the right-wing Likud in
defeating the Labor Party.
"We have to be patient and
see what the results will be?"
he said somewhat
diplomatically.
