the traditional luncheon
given by the Israel Editors'
Committee for the prime
minister on the anniversary
of the United Nations deci-
sion in 1947 to create a
Jewish state in a partitioned
Palestine.
"According to the simple
arithmetic calculations, the
number of Jews wishing to
leave the Soviet Union will
quickly reach a million
souls, and a large part of
them will be coming to
Israel," Shamir said.
He said 2,000 have arrived
so far in November, and an-
other 1,000 would have come
if there had been more
transportation available.
Direct flights between
Moscow and Tel Aviv are
expected to begin in January
jointly by El Al and Aeroflot,
the Soviet airline.
Dinitz told the WZO Exec-
utive that "Israel will
welcome with open arms
every Jew, even the million-
th Jew, even if we have to
make do with one egg per
week."
He said that Israel proved
in the past that it was able to
meet any challenge mounted
by waves of aliyah, and that
in fact it performed better
when absorbing large waves
of aliyah rather than absorb-
ing a sporadic trickle.
Dinitz said that all units
and departments of the
Jewish Agency and WZO
would have to focus on
Soviet Jewry in the years
ahead.
Reporting on the recent
General Assembly of the
Council of Jewish Federa-
tions in Cincinnati, Dinitz
said that there seemed to be
doubt among American
Jewish leaders whether
these large numbers of
Soviet Jews would head for
Israel.
There were also doubts as
to whether Israel was
capable of absorbing olim in
such large numbers, and
there were fears that a
special fund-raising cam-
'paign for Israeli absorption
would prejudice fund-raising
in North America for ab-
sorption of Soviet
newcomers into American
Jewish communities.
Nevertheless, Dinitz said
the commitment undertaken
by the American Jewish
leadership to raise $350
million for Israel's absorp-
tion program remained firm
and would be implemented
in a vigorous and
sophisticated campaign. ❑
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
Captured Killer Halabi
Was IDF Collaborator
Jerusalem (JTA) — The ar-
rest of Mohammad Halabi,
an underworld figure
suspected of murdering
seven people last month, has
raised the delicate issue of
immunity granted Arab
criminals who collaborate
with Israeli security forces.
Halabi, 32, a known drug
dealer and pimp, sur-
rendered without a struggle
when an Israel Defense
Forces commando squad
raided his hideout in an or-
chard near Khan Yunis in
the Gaza Strip on Sunday.
Halabi, No. 1 on the most-
wanted list, was traced there
after an intensive manhunt
supervised by Ya'acov Peleg
of the Tel Aviv Police
Criminal Investigation
Department.
Halabi, whom the IDF
turned over to the police,
readily confessed to the
murders in front of reporters
at Tel Aviv police head-
quarters, saying he killed
his victims — five women
and two men, Arab and
Jewish — in a dispute over
money.
Three bodies were
discovered in a south Tel
Aviv- slum on Oct. 20 and
four others were found the
next day in a Jaffa apart-
ment known to - have been
occupied by the suspect.
Halabi apparently was
granted immunity for coop-
erating with security forces
combatting the Palestinian
uprising. When the IDF
began issuing magnetized
identity cards to Palesti-
nians in Gaza to bar those
with criminal or security
offense records from enter-
ing Israel proper, Halabi
was exempted.
He was given official per-
mission to live in Israel
permanently.
The intifada leadership in
the Gaza Strip reportedly
had marked him for
assassination as a col-
laborator.
Moscow Yeshiva
Told To Move
New York (JTA) — The
yeshivah established in
Moscow by Israeli Rabbi
Adin Steinsaltz has been
asked to vacate its premises
by the Moscow municipality.
