Israel Gets U.S. Loan
Guarantees, With Strings

New York (JTA) — Israeli
Foreign Minister David
Levy left the United States
last week with an agreement
in his pocket for $400 mill-
ion in U.S. loan guarantees.
But the long-sought guar-
antees, which will be used to
obtain loans for the con-
struction of immigrant hous-
ing in Israel, do not appear
to have come without major
concessions by the Israeli
government.
According to Israeli offi-
cials, the deal between the
two countries includes an
Israeli agreement to
regularly provide informa-
tion to the United States on
housing plans for new immi-
grants, incentive systems
that exist for Israelis who
settle in various geographic
locations, and "financial ac-
tivities regarding set-
tlements."
Such information would
permit the U.S. government
to monitor the amount of
money the Israeli govern-
ment spends on settlement
of its citizens in the ad-
ministered territories.
Mr. Levy played down the
stipulations in a briefing
with Israeli reporters, say-
ing there is a difference bet-
ween a commitment to
report to the U.S. govern-
ment and an agreement to
share information with
Washington.
"Reports are something
you give to a superior; in-
formation is something you
exchange with an ally," Mr.
Levy said.
Israeli officials said that

housing loan guarantees
would be issued after Mr.
Levy sends U.S. Secretary of
State James Baker a letter
outlining the basis of the
agreement.
One of the thorniest issues
dividing the United States
and Israel, whether the
Israeli commitment not to
direct Jews to the territories
should apply to East
Jerusalem, appears not to
have been addressed direct-
ly.
Mr. Levy and other Israeli
officials stressed that they
did not give in to all U.S.
demands. The most impor-
tant of these was an Ameri-
can request to freeze all set-
tlement activity in the ad-
ministered territories.
"The government will not
restrict or be an obstacle for
the settlement of Jews
anywhere," the foreign min-
ister said.
He also said that Israel
had refused to give an exact
accounting of all money
spent beyond the 1967 Green
Line, which some elements
in the administration had
been asking for.
The agreement announced
last week ends months of
negotiations between the
United States and Israel on
the loan guarantees, which
were approved by Congress
last spring.
The Bush administration
has held up the guarantees
since then because of con-
cern that the money would
indirectly be used to expand
Jewish settlements in the
administered territories.

Jews Press For British
Anti-Hate Legislation

London (JTA) — Anglo-
Jewish leaders are pressing
government officials to in-
itiate legal measures
against the distributors of
scurrilous anti-Semitic ma-
terial in Britain, which ap-
pears to be proliferating.
Dr. Lionel Kopelowitz,
president of the Board of
Deputies of British Jews,
said there is growing "public
concern and puzzlement"
over the continued failure of
the director of public pros-
ecutions to take action.
He was referring to the
latest flood of hate leaflets in
which British Jews are
accused of practicing ritual
murder and "Talmud-
inspired pedophilia."
The leaflets contend that

"Jack the Ripper" was a Jew
and that Jews control
Britain's pornography trade.
In a letter to the director of
public prosecutions, Alan
Green, Dr. Kopelowitz
accused the authorities of
giving a "green light" to the
purveyors of hate literature
when they failed to pros-
ecute the distributors of
"Holocaust News" in 1988, a
sheet that claimed the Hobo-
caust never occurred.
Greville Janner, a Labor
member of Parliament, has
called on Attorney General
Sir Patrick Mayhew to in-
itiate legislation,
Mr. Janner said it ap-
peared that law-enforcement
officials have chosen to ig-
nore their authority,
