Special to The Jewish News
T
he Security Council
was scheduled to hold
informal consultations
late Tuesday to discuss send-
ing a team of U.N. observers
to the West Bank and Gaza
Strip.
An Arab League resolu-
tion was expected to be sub-
mitted during the session,
but it was not clear what
type of action it would rec-
ommend.
Palestine Liberation
Organization leader Yassir
Arafat, speaking to the
Security Council in Geneva
last Friday, called for a full-
scale international observer
force to monitor conditions
in the administered ter-
ritories and "protect the Pa-
lestinian inhabitants."
The United States had in-
itially expressed support for
sending a team of U.N.
observers to the territories,
but after failing to win
Israel's assent, reversed its
decision to back the plan.
In Washington, State
Department spokesman
Margaret Tutwiler said
Tuesday that the United
States "continues to support
the idea of a U.N. Security
Council special envoy to
observe the situation on the
ground, return to New York
and report back to the inter-
ested parties."
When asked whether the
United States would support
a request for an observer
force made by U.N. Secre-
tary-General Javier Perez de
Cuellar, rather than the
Security Council, Tutwiler
said there was no distinction
between the two.
There were conflicting
reports Tuesday of how
quickly the Arab nations
would act on a resolution.
Some sources said any action
would be delayed until after
the conclusion of the Arab
summit meeting in
Baghdad, which was extend-
ed one day.
But other sources claimed
that the Arab states were
rushing to draft a resolution
so that a Security Council
vote could be called during
the Shavuot holiday. ❑

Israeli Court Sentences
Jew For Desecrations
Tel Aviv (JTA) — David
Goldner, a 41-year-old
Israeli Jew, was sentenced
this week by the Haifa
Magistrates Court to four
years in prison, 12 months of
it suspended, for the May 12
desecration of 303 graves in
the Haifa Jewish cemeteries
of Kfar Samir and Hof
Carmel.
Goldner, an electrical en-
gineer from Kiryat Motzkin,
in the Haifa Bay area, was
found guilty May 24. A
returnee to Orthodox
Judaism, Goldner had con-
fessed to the desecration,
describing himself as an
emissary of the Messiah.
Goldner's friend and co-
defendant, Gershon Ten-
nenbaum, 32, of nearby
Kiryat Yam, is still undergo-
ing psychiatric examina-
tions to determine whether
he is mentally sound. Ten-
nenbaum likewise has de-
scribed himself as a mes-
sianic envoy.
Magistrate Amirav Rand,
who accepted Goldner's guil-
ty plea, noted that Goldner
had previously been ex-
amined by psychiatrists and
found to be responsible for
his actions.
Rand said he had no faith
in Goldner's expressions of
regret for the desecrations,
which included virulently
anti-Jewish slogans calling
on Arab leaders to kill Jews.
The magistrate said
Goldner's actions were
taken to breed hatred and
enmity between com-
munities. They were not
only potentially dangerous
but also ran counter to
Goldner's stated aim of
uniting the Jewish people,
Rand said.
Both Goldner and Tennen-
baum said they wanted to
free the Jewish people and
draw attention to the
dangers facing the Jewish
people and Israel. Both were
described as "eccentric."
Police charged Goldner
with the actual writing, with
Tennenbaum alleged to have
dictated to him what to
write.
The black spray-paint
graffiti, at first thought to be
indelible, have now been
removed through the use of
special chemicals.
