Netanyahu Supporter
Made The Threat

Jerusalem (JTA) — In the
latest twist to "Bibi- gate,"
the sex-and-politics scandal
surrounding the popular
Likud politician Benjamin
Netanyahu, one of his
former supporters has
claimed he fabricated the
episode of political
blackmail himself.
The claim set off a volley of
charges and countercharges
between rival camps in
Likud supporting Mr.
Netanyahu and his chief
competitor in the upcoming
primary for the party
leadership, former Foreign
Minister David Levy.
The scandal broke last
month when Bibi, as the
American- educated Knesset
member is known,- went
public with an accusation
that he was being
blackmailed by rivals in the
Likud bloc.
Mr. Netanyahu claimed
that an anonymous person
had phoned his wife and
threatened that a secret
videotape showing him in
compromising cir-
cumstances with another
woman would be published if
he did not withdraw his can-
didacy for the leadership of
Likud, the country's largest
opposition party.
Mr. Netanyahu startled
and amused the Israeli
public by admitting on
public television that he had
been having an extramarital
affair with another woman
but had ended it some mon-
ths ago.
At the time, he indirectly
pointed the finger at Mr.
Levy for threatening him
with blackmail and said he
planned to sue aides to the
former foreign minister over
the affair. He also asked
police to investigate the
matter.
The latest development
came this week as a certain
Baruch Mahlouf, 27, a Likud
member formerly of Mr.
Netanyahu's camp, told
police he invented the whole
story of the threat to expose
Mr. Netanyahu's
extramarital affair in order
"to impress Netanyahu
himself."
Mr. Levy's supporters ap-
plauded the news and blam-
ed Mr. Netanyahu for
wrongly accusing them of
the blackmail.
But Mr. Netanyahu's
backers claimed Mr.
Mahlouf was associated only
briefly with Mr. Netanyahu

and was now employed by
the city of Lod, whose mayor
is Maxim Levy, David
Levy's brother.
According to sources in
Mr. Netanyahu's camp, Mr.
Mahlouf has served as David
Levy's driver and has helped
organize political rallies for
the former foreign minister.
Mr. Netanyahu's attorney,
Dan Avi-Yitzhak, insisted
that he was in possession of
evidence of a campaign to
blackmail his client.
"It was not an isolated
phone call about an in-
criminating cassette," he
said, "but a sophisticated
operation that ran and fi-
nanced a smear campaign
against Netanyahu."
In the meantime, another
political scandal broke out
with Likud Knesset Member
Michael Eitan claiming that
the computer firm engaged
by the Likud in the last elec-
tion was supplying secret
data to the Labor Party.
Labor party officials rejected
the charges.

Montreal Hosts
Competition

.

Montreal (JTA) — Politics
meshed with music recently
as the award winners were
chosen at the International
Jewish Song Competition
held here.
More than 1,000 people
converged on Congregation
Shaar Hashomayim to hear
renditions of Hebrew and
Yiddish tunes of 15 finalists
from culturally diverse
backgrounds.
Stephen Melzack of Lon-
don garnered top prize, and
$2,000 (Canadian) for his
rendition of "This Land."
During his acceptance
speech, Mr. Melzack
dedicated the moment to
Jonathan Pollard, serving
time in prison for passing
top- secret American docu-
ments to the Israeli govern-
ment.
The International Jewish
Song Competition was spon-
sored by the congregation's
Hazzan Mendelson Music
Foundation, established in
1981 in memory of Cantor.
Nathan Mendelson. Cantor
Mendelson, who served
Shaar Hashomayim for 35
years, was one of the first
presidents of the Cantor's
Assembly of America.
