Water Shortage
Hitting Israel

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Pumping
from Lake Kinneret into the
national water pipeline was
halted last week when the
water level in Israel's
largest natural reservoir
dropped to a 60-year low.
It stood at 699.6 feet below
sea level, the danger point
set by the national water
company, Mekorot. The
Kinneret, also known as the
Sea of Galilee, is the second-
lowest spot on the globe.
Agriculture Minister
Rafael Eitan said Israel is
seriously considering impor-
ting water from Turkey to
ease the severe domestic
shortage.
During a tour of northern
Israel, Mr. Eitan stressed
that desalination plants
would have to be built in
various parts of the country
to provide water for irriga-
tion.
He warned that large parts
of Israel could become desert
if a few more rainless
winters are experienced.
Rainfalls have been below
normal for the last two
years, giving rise to the idea
of buying fresh water in
Turkey and shipping it to
Israel in tankers. Mr. Eitan
said Israel is in contact with
several private companies in
Turkey for that purpose.
Private contractors in
Israel have proposed the
construction of giant plastic
containers that would be
filled with fresh water from
Turkish rivers and towed
south to Israel, where their
contents would be stored in
specially built reservoirs.
The idea is feasible be-
cause fresh water will float
on sea water, which is
heavier.

Knesset Votes
On Immunity

Jerusalem (JTA) — The
Knesset voted last week not
to strip Arab Knesset mem-
ber Mohammed Miari of his
parliamentary immunity.
A Knesset panel had rec-
ommended last week that
Mr. Miari's immunity be
stripped so that he could be
prosecuted for his alleged
involvement two years ago
in a failed scheme by the
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization to sail a boatload of
Palestinian deportees into
an Israeli port.
But in a move that sur-
prised political observers,
the Knesset voted 49-29 not
to lift the immunity of Mr.
Miari, who heads the one-
seat Progressive List for
Peace.
