New York (JTA) — Greek
Prime Minister Constantine
Mitsotakis will visit Israel
early next year, culminating
the rapid improvement in
ties between the two coun-
tries since his conservative
New Democratic Party
assumed power in April
1990.
Speaking here to members
of the American Jewish
Committee, the prime min-
ister offered to host the ongo-
ing Middle East peace talks,
specifically suggesting the
island of Rhodes, site of the
negotiations leading to the
1949 armistice agreements
between Israel and its
neighbors.
"We are interested in play-
ing a role in this — the role
of friend," he said, referring
to the negotiations.
"We stand with Israel on
every issue," the Greek
leader said, as he announced
that his country was co-
sponsoring the U.N. mea-
sure repealing the General
Assembly's 1975 resolution
denigrating Zionism as
racism.
The Greek leader stressed
both what he described as
ancient ties between the
Jewish and Greek peoples,
and his own support for
Israel.
One of the first acts of the
Mitsotakis government was
to recognize Israel, which
the prime minister had
previously visited as a mem-
ber of the opposition.
"I can assure you the reac-
tion of the Greek people to
this decision was 100 per-
cent positive," said Mr. Mit-
sotakis, who spoke through a
translator.
"It's important American
Jews understand the pro-
found changes in Greece
since April 1990," said
David Harris, executive vice
president of AJCommittee.
"We really should forget
the unpleasant period
behind us," the prime min-
ister said, referring to the
reign of his Socialist
predecessor, Andreas
Papandreou, who won a
reputation of protecting ter-
rorists.
Mr. Mitsotakis assured the
breakfast audience that
Greece is now working close-
ly with the United States to
fight terrorism, a policy
manifested last week with
the signing of an order to
extradite Palestinian ter-
rorist Abdulrahim Khaled to
Italy. Khaled faces a life
sentence there for plotting
the 1985 hijacking of the
Italian cruise ship Achille
Lauro.
The prime minister sug-
gested that some of his at-
titudes toward Israel and the
Jewish community may de-
rive from his experiences
during World War II. An ac-
tive leader of the anti- Nazi
resistance in Crete, he was
twice arrested and sentenced
to death.
The Greek leader asked for
Jewish cooperation in econ-
omic investment and
tourism. The Greek and
Israeli ministries of tourism
have recently been taking
out a joint advertising cam-
paign to promote travel to
both countries.
Mr. Mitsotakis specifically
asked that Jewish groups
consider including a visit to
Greece among the events
scheduled next year to com-
memorate the 500th an-
niversary of the expulsion
from Spain. He pointed out
that Greece received a large
influx of Jews following the
expulsion.
He also expressed grati-
tude for Jewish assistance
regarding his country's feud
with Turkey over Cyprus.
He asked for Jewish groups
to redouble their efforts on
the issue.
Border Police
Harrass Arabs
Jerusalem (JTA) —
Jerusalem police have de-
tained two border policemen
suspected of harassing
Arabs who testified.against
their colleagues.
The disciplinary
crackdown, considered
unusual, stemmed from re-
cent charges brought
against 10 policemen alleged
to have mistreated Arab de-
tainees under interrogation.
The case against the 10
was such that Police Inspec-
tor General Ya'acov Terner
would have suspended them.
He was ordered by Police
Minister Ronni Milo to take
no action, pending the out-
come of their trial.
But several other
policemen apparently
sought revenge. They are
alleged to have invaded and
wrecked the homes of Arabs
who took the witness stand
and threatened them
physically.
One of the two officers de-
tained is the son of one of the
10 accused of abusing their
power.
