" Ws — Since 1969 — Labor's Failure Blamed On Rebbe Schneerson New York (JTA) — Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, the 88-year-old spiritual leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, has come under fire from American Jewish organizational leaders and the Israeli press for alleged- ly meddling in internal Israeli politics. But Schneerson's spokes- man, Rabbi Yehuda Krin- sky, claimed the Brooklyn- based Chasidic rebbe is "apolitical" and was not directly responsible for the refusal last week of two ultra- Orthodox Knesset members to join fellow members of the Agudat Yisrael party in forming a coalition with the Labor Party. The two defectors from Agudat Yisrael, Avraham Verdiger and Eliezer Mizrachi, effectively blocked Labor Party leader Shimon Peres from forming a government by denying him the votes he needed to win a parliamentary motion of confidence. Krinsky denied reports that Schneerson had tele- phoned his disciples and in- structed them to take such action. Krinsky said Verdiger had called the Lubavitch head- quarters in Brooklyn, asking if the rebbe still opposed ceding territory in a peace agreement with the Arabs — which the Labor Party strongly advocates. Schneerson's decades-long position has been that Israel should not surrender "one inch" of territory. The Lubavitcher rebbe's stance is at odds not only with the Labor Party but with some of the most revered Torah sages in Israel, who uphold the primacy of saving lives over territorial sovereignty. Krinsky maintained that the two Knesset members chose to refuse to join with Labor on their own. Krinsky's version of events conflicted with reports on Israeli army radio, which said there was no question Mizrachi acted on direct orders from Schneerson. An angry edito- rial in the mass-circulation Israeli newspaper Yediot Achronot said Israel's fate now appears to lie "in the hands of a rabbi who lives in Brooklyn, who has never set foot in Israel." This sentiment was echoed in comments by several American Jewish leaders. "Rabbi Schneerson, sitting in his study in (Brooklyn's) Eastern Parkway, decided that Agudat Yisrael would not participate in the pro- posed government," Rabbi Alexander Schindler said in a statement. Schindler, president of the Reform movement's Union of American Hebrew Con- gregations, said, "One is forced to ask: How can a re- ligious leader in good cons- cience reject the idea of mov- ing toward peace when the young men in his own movement are exempted from military service so they can pursue their yeshiva studies?" Seymour Reich, chairman of the Conference of Presi- dents of Major American Jewish Organizations, refused to criticize the Lubavitcher rebbe directly. But he called it "reprehensi- ble for anyone in the diaspora to interfere with the Israeli political system." Two New Settlements Open In The Territories Jerusalem (JTA) — Set- tlers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip are taking ad- vantage of the current polit- ical vacuum to rush new set- tlement projects to comple- tion. The settlers established two new West Bank set- tlements this week: Rehan 5, in the northern Samaria re- gion, and Ramat Gidron, near Jerusalem. They are the last of eight settlements approved by the now defunct Likud-Labor unity govern- ment when it was formed in 1988. Dugit, in the northern Gaza Strip, already has a population but no buildings. Dugit was approved in principle in 1982, but final approval was granted only last week by the Likud caretaker government. Labor resigned from the national unity coalition on March 13, and the govern- ment fell two days later. With only Likud in charge until a new government is formed, settlement ad- vocates are rushing to con- solidate what they can.
