Gaza Strip — as well as some
in the West Bank — are vir-
tually ghost towns."
Sheikh Koka, the Hamas
leader in exile, told the
Kuwaiti daily Al - Anba re-
cently that the Palestine
problem was not a PLO prob-
lem, but rather an Arab-
Islamic problem — "one that
is, first and foremost, an
Islamic mission."
The world, he said, had
failed to grasp the fact that
the Arab-Israeli dispute was
essentially a religious con-
test; a conflict between
Muslims and Jews, between
the Koran and the Torah.
"llamas is an arm of the
Islamic movement that is
spreading throughout the
Arab and Islamic world," he
said. "We are able to fund
ourselves independently of
the PLO with donations from
Muslims in the Gulf states
and from Muslim charities
throughout the world."
It,is a message that is giv-
ing rise to increasing concern
within the Israeli military
establishment. According to a
recent report by the Israeli
Military Government, quoted
by the Hebrew-language dai-
ly Ma'ariv, the genie of
Islamic extremism has now
escaped from the bottle.
"In contrast to the Gaza
Strip, the weight of the Is-
lamic movement in Judea
and Samaria [the West Bank]
is still not as great as that of
the PLO," notes the report,
"but recent events in the
region are broadening and
strengthening the religious
bloc.
"The religious elements are
liable to sweep away the en-
tire population, as occurred in
Iran. They are accumulating
power and will represent a
danger to Israel in the future.
This escalation," it adds, "is
becoming a grave security
problem."

At least 40 Arabs have been
wounded in violent distur-
bances in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip since Friday.
Violence spread to East
Jerusalem, where a gasoline
bomb set fire to an Egged bus
Monday night.
Only the driver was injured.
He was taken to Hadassah
Hospital on Mount Scopus for
treatment of slight burns.
There were no passengers on
the bus at the time of the at-
tack. The vehicle was com-
pletely gutted.
In the West Bank, Hebron
became the focus of tension
Monday. A 16-year-old Pales-
tinian was shot to death by
IDF soldiers chasing high
school students who had ston-
ed them on the main road.
A 17-year-old resident of the
Gaza Strip died at Sheba
Hospital in Ramat Gan Mon-
day of wounds inflicted dur-
ing a clash with security
forces Saturday:
The violence in the ter-
ritories was attributed in part
to the deaths of two young
Palestinian girls wounded
last week.

Conference: No
Visa For Arafat
New York (JTA) — The Con-
ference of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organiza-
tions issued a statement last
week urging the State
Department to continue to
deny a U.S. visa to Yassir
Arafat.
Its statement came amid
reports that the Palestine
Liberation Organization
chairman would request a
visa to address the American-
Arab Anti-Discrimination
Committee's annual conven-
tion in Washington on April
13.
The White House said last
week that the United States
has not received any request
from Arafat.
Arafat Threat
Draws Warning
Washington (JTA) — The
State Department said last
week it considers a New
Year's Day statement by
Palestine Liberation Organi-
zation chief Yassir Arafat to
be a threat against Palestin-
ians who seek reconciliation
with Israel.
But State Department
spokesman Charles Redman
left .unclear whether the
United States believes that
the threat was specifically
aimed at the life of Mayor
Elias Freij of Bethlehem.
Redman said the State De-
partment has obtained a tape
of Arafat's Jan. 1 speech to
Palestinians in Saudi Arabia.
He quoted the PLO leader as
saying: "Whoever thinks of
stopping the intifada before it
achieves its goals, I will give
him 10 bullets in the chest."
The United States has
made it clear to Arafat that
"this threat is inconsistent
with Arafat's Dec. 14 renun-
ciation of terrorism" and the
subsequent U.S. decision to
open a dialogue.
