Israeli Team's Security
Needs Anger Marseilles
Paris (JTA) — The
Marseille municipality and
the local news media are
furious over a request by the
Israel Tennis Association to
switch an upcoming match
between Israel and France to
a different city because of
security problems which
might arise because of the
Persian Gulf war.
David Harnik, president of
the association, expressed
fear in a letter he sent to the
French Tennis Federation,
in which he said Marseilles'
"large Moslem community
could endanger the Israeli
team."
Mayor Robert Vigouroux
of Marseilles and the City
Council angrily rejected the
Israeli complaint.
"Marseilles is a city in
which Jews and Moslems
have peacefully lived
together for centuries. It is
high time to put an end to
attempts to drive a wedge
between the city's in-
habitants," the mayor
declared.
About 300,000 Jews and a
half-million Moslems live in
the area of Marseilles,
France's largest seaport,
which historically has been
a melting pot of races.
The leading local news-
paper, Le Provencal, accused
the Israelis of racism.
Israel's request "implies
that being an Arab is al-
ready a source of trouble," a
front page editorial said.
It added that "it is out of
Marseilles that the Ex-
odus sailed in 1947, and Jews
and Arabs have always been
welcomed here."
The Exodus, a one-time
Chesapeake Bay steamer
purchased by Zionist ac-
tivists in the United States,
is the best known of the fleet
of elderly vessels that
brought Jews illegally to
Palestine during the final
years of the British Man-
date, when their immigra-
tion was severely limited by
quota.
U.S. Asking Israel
To Demilitarize Golan
310•DYITC
Washington (JTA) —
Israel is being asked by the
United States to consider
demilitarizing the Golan
Heights and putting it under
permanent U.S. or U.N.
supervision. Israeli Embassy
officials confirmed news
reports in Israel that the
proposal was made recently
by Secretary of State James
Baker to Israeli Ambassador
Zalman Shoval.

The ideas were not posed
as a "formal question that

woman Ruth Yaron said.
State Department spokes-
woman Margaret Tutwiler
said she was unaware of
such a discussion, which ap-
parently took place Jan. 30

during an informal meeting
Mr. Baker had with the
Israeli ambassador.
Mr. Baker will have an op-
portunity to explore this
idea further when he meets
this week with Israeli For-
eign Minister David Levy.
In the meeting between
Mr. Baker and Mr. Shoval,
Mr. Baker raised a number
of "possible scenarios" affec-
ting Israeli-Syrian relations,
including the demilitariza-
tion of the Golan Heights,
which Israel captured dur-
ing the Six-Day War of 1967.
Unlike the West Bank and
Gaza Strip, which remain
administered territories, the
Golan was formally annexed
by Israel in December 1981.
Syria has insisted it be
returned.

Britain Opts To Continue
Embargo Against Israel
London (JTA) — Israeli of-
ficials were surprised by the
British government's deci-
sion to continue its nine-year
arms embargo of Israel
despite the warming of rela-
tions between the two coun-
tries since the Persian Gulf
crisis began.
The decision, revealed by
Foreign Office sources Jan.
31, dashed Israel's hopes
that the arms sanctions
would be lifted as a gesture
of Britain's gratitude for
Israel's restraint in the face
of Iraqi missile attacks.
British officials say the
embargo can be lifted only
when Israel ends its
"occupation" of parts of
southern Lebanon.
