Government
Plans Cuts
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
Israeli government is con-
sidering a plan that sharply
limits the number of West
Bank settlements qualifying
for tax breaks and other spe-
cial benefits.
Jewish communities out-
side the pre-1967 borders
that remain entitled to these
concessions are singled out
in a proposal submitted to
the Cabinet on Wednesday
by a government committee
headed by Shimon Shevas,
director-general of the Prime
Minister's Office.
They appear to be a
pointer to a distinction made
by Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin between "political"
settlements in the ad-
ministered territories, which
should not be encouraged,
and "security" settlements,
which should.
Under the plan, benefits
would continue to the Gush
Katif cluster of settlements
near Gaza; Efrat and other
communities of the Gush Et-
zion bloc south of Jerusalem;
nd settlements along the
Jordan River.
But the withdrawal of
benefits to all other set-
tlements in the territories
marks a sharp departure
from the emphasis placed by
the previous Likud ad-
ministration on Jewish set-
tlement in these areas.
Mr. Shevas said the plan
reflects a new order of
priorities by the Labor-led
government, which took of-
fice five months ago.
High-tech industries in the
capital and the post-1967
settlements in its environs
would get a boost under the
plan's provision to grant
special status to greater
Jerusalem.
News reports said the plan
would probably lead to a
significant slowdown in the
creation of new industries
beyond the "Green Line"
and perhaps even a reloca-
tion of some businesses to
within the pre-1967 borders.
The opposition Likud bloc
said the plan is part of a
larger government effort to
discourage West Bank set-
tlement and reflects where it
is headed politically.
Likud Knesset member
Haim Kaufman said the
plan would be interpreted by
West Bank Arabs and for-
eign observers as "a signal
there is about to be a diplo-
matic turnabout" in
negotiations with the Pales-
tinians.
