FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1992
Tel Aviv (JTA) — The
Israeli Foreign Ministry has
begun making ar-
rangements for the dispatch
of humanitarian and
medical aid to war-torn
Bosnia-Hercegovina.
This marks the first public
effort on the part of the Jew-
ish state to address a tragic
situation that Jews them-
selves have compared to
their own history in the
Holocaust.
"The reports of murder
and suffering of those de-
tained in Bosnia cannot but
revolt everyone in the world
to the depths of their souls,
and especially Jews," For-
eign Minister Shimon Peres
told the Knesset.
Meretz Knesset Member
Yossi Sarid was scheduled to
leave for the former
Yugoslav state last week. He
is expected to report on the
situation there and to send
for the relief supplies and a
medical team when he
thinks it safe to do so.
Mr. Sarid will head the
Israeli delegation and
oversee distribution of the
supplies.
Yosef Hadass, director
general of the Foreign Min-
istry, held a meeting to lay
down guidelines for the mer-
cy mission. The meeting was
attended by ministry offi-
cials and representatives of
the Health and Labor Min-
istries, the Jewish Agency
and the Kupat Holim
Histadrut Sick Fund.
Mr. Hadass said he was re-
ceiving regular reports from
the United Nations concern-
ing the rapidly changing
security situation in Bosnia,
particularly in its capital,
Sarajevo.
He said he had received
enough information from the
United Nations and from
European countries to
assure him that the aid will
arrive safely at its intended
destination.
Israeli officials stress that
the Israeli aid will be
distributed to all individuals
in need, regardless of
whether they are Jews,
Christians or Moslems.
Knesset Speaker Shevah
Weiss asked Mr. Sarid to ex-
press the shock and pain of
the Knesset, and of the
citizens of Israel, over the
atrocities being perpetrated
against civilians in Bosnia.
He also asked Mr. Sarid to
take advantage of his stay
there and encourage the
Bosnian Jews to make
aliyah.

A discussion on the situa-
tion in Yugoslavia was held
in the Knesset at the in-
itiative of Knesset members
Rafi Elul of Labor, Dedi -
Zucker of Meretz and Meir
Sheetrit of Likud. 0
The Knesset speaker also
expressed his hope that the " I
moral voice of Foreign Min-
ister Peres and the human-
itarian aid from Israel will
resonate in Yugoslavia and
help speed the end of conflict
there.
Likud member Dov ii
Shilansky said the Knesset
and the Jewish people have
always demonstrated
supreme sensitivity to any
form of inhuman conduct.
He called on all the Jews of
the former Yugoslavian
state to disengage them-
selves from the "Pompeii
complex of life near a
volcano" and immigrate to
Israel.
The American Jewish
Joint Distribution Com-
mittee, which has been in-
volved since the beginning of
May in relief efforts and in
helping Jews escape from
Bosnia, welcomed the news
that Israel intends to join in
the relief effort.
"We're glad that the
government of Israel is also 1.1
making arrangements. But
we are going to continue
with our operations" said
JDC Executive Vice Presi-
dent Michael Schneider in
4
New York.
According to Mr.
Schneider, there are some
400 Jews remaining in
Bosnia.

Aloni Calls
For Ouster
a
Jerusalem (JTA) — Edu-
cation Minister and Meretz
leader Shulamit Aloni called
for the replacement of
Cabinet Secretary Elyakim 4
Rubinstein as head of
Israel's negotiating team in
the bilateral peace talks
with the Jordanian- Pales-
tinian delegation.
Ms. Aloni charged that Mr. _
Rubinstein was involved,
"at the behest of the
(Shamir) government, in the 1 11
deliberate double-crossing of
the United States regarding
the settlement issue" from
1990 to 1992.
Ms. Aloni made her de-
4
mand on the eve of Mr.
Rubinstein's departure for
the United States as a senior
member of Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin's entourage.
