fficials in Jerusalem
are concerned that the
Palestinian uprising
is about the cross the Green
Line — Israel's pre-1967
borders — and inflame the
750,000 Arabs who have been
Israeli citizens since the
establishment of the Jewish
State.
According to a report
presented to Israel's inner
cabinet last week, a violent,
intifada-style uprising by
Israeli Arabs is imminent.
Military intelligence of-
ficials and senior academics
have been privately warning
the political echelon for
months that the radicaliza-
tion of Israel's Arab popula-
tion was an inevitable conse-
quence of the intifada.
They also warned that an
uprising by Israel's Arabs,
who constitute some 20 per-
cent of the Israeli population,
would pose one of the most
serious challenges in Israel's
history.
The passions of Israel'S
Arab community have been
fuelled by a pervading sense
of discrimination, a growing
attachment to the nationalist
message of Palestinians in
the occupied West Bank and
Gaza Strip, a resurgence of
Islamic fundamentalism
among Muslim Arabs, and a
perception of Palestinian
strength coupled with Israeli
vulnerability in the face of
the intifada.
Israel's senior cabinet
ministers have been told that
the uprising has had a cumu-
lative effect on Arabs in
"Israel proper" and that ex-
tremist elements among Is-
raeli Arabs were likely to in-
itiate violent attacks against
Israeli targets.
The report also warned that
weapons were being stock-
piled in both the Arab sector
of Jerusalem and in Arab
towns and villages within
Israel.
Israeli sources noted at the
weekend that the' under-
ground leadership of the in-
tifada has called on Israeli
Arabs to demonstrate their
solidarity with Palestinians
in the occupied territories
and to assert their Palesti-
nian nationalism.
,
In a statement to the
Knesset recently, Israel's
minister responsible for Arab
affairs, Ehud Olmert, warned
that violent acts by Israeli
Arabs were showing a
"disturbing trend."
Security forces, he said, had
reported a total of 580 in-
cidents of political subversion
within the Green Line in
1988, compared with 125 in-
cidents the previous year.
Olmert warned that the
growing identification of
Israeli Arabs with the Palesti-
nian cause should serve as a
warning, and he called for
more funds to be ploughed in-
to improving the health,
The mass-circulation He-
brew-language daily Ma'ariu
declared this week that "an
intifada within the Green
Line is intolerable. The very
thought that weapons and ex-
plosives are being stored by
Israeli Arabs must rouse all
of us from our complacency."
The newspaper warned that
"if the Jewish citizens of
Israel feel even the slightest
threat to the tranquility of
their lives within Israel pro-
4
per . . . the response will be
violent and uncontrollable."
Concern about' a possible
uprising by Israel's Arabs has
been heightened by the ongo-
ing chaos in Lebanon, which
has raised the level of
regional tensions generally,
and more specifically by the
recent bout of unrest in the
normally placid Kingdom of
Jordan.
The five days of rioting in
Jordan, which claimed at
I
least 10 lives last week and
caused King Hussein to cut
short an overseas visit, is
thought to be the first, tangi-
ble echo of the unrest that has
gripped the West Bank and
Gaza Strip.
The upheavals in the debt-
ridden kingdom were osten-
4
sibly in response to the
dramatic price hikes which
King Hussein was compelled
to institute as a precondition
for unblocking a total of $275
million in credits and loans
from the International
Monetary Fund and the
World Bank.
While not underestimating
the extent of Jordan's
economic problems, Middle
East observers believe that
the issue was merely a trigger
for discontent which has been
.4
simmering in the "Gucci
Kingdom" — so called
because of the king's
glamorous wife and his own
lavish lifestyle — since the
start of the intifada.
In an uncharacteristic
display of temper, the Jorda-
nian Regent, Crown Prince
Hassan, told a press con- 11
ference in Amman at the
weekend: "I think I would be
rather stupid if I did not get
that message."
It was Israel's inability to
put a lid on the Palestinian
uprising and a consequent
fear that the unrest would
spill over into his own
predominantly Palestinian
kingdom that persuaded
King Hussein to cut his
20-year-old ties with the oc-
cupied territories last July
and disenfranchise the

education and welfare ap-
paratus for Israeli Arabs to
reduce their sense of
discrimination.
According to Israeli securi-
ty sources, there is a
deliberate attempt in the
Galilee region, where Arabs
form a majority, to create a
continuous line of Arab set-
tlement which would serve as
a base for hostility against
Israel.
There were also suggestions
that the Arab population of
the Galilee might secede from
Israel and seek incorporation
in a future Palestinian state.
Israeli
forces
are
understood to be cracking
down hard on any manife-
station of Palestinian na-
tionalism, such as displays of
the Palestinian flag or na-
tionalist graffiti.
In the past, security of-
ficials tended to disregard
such acts and concentrate
their attention on combatting
physical violence. Now,
however, they are taking
seriously the relatively
benign demonstrations of na-
tionalism, which, they say, in-
variably escalate into vio-
lence if allowed to pass
unchecked.
