Knesset Member
Cites Rights Abuse

Jerusalem (JTA) — Knesset
member Dedi Zucker of the
left-wing Meretz bloc has sent
a report to Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin charging Is-
raeli soldiers with human
rights abuses in the Gaza
Strip. Mr. Zucker present-
) ed Mr. Rabin, who also serves
as defense minister, with a
firsthand report of the situa-
• tion, based on a trip he made
• to the Gaza Strip last week.
Mr. Zucker decided to inves-
tigate personally, after hear-
ing rumors of abuses by the
Golani Brigade since a gen-
eral closure of the territories
was imposed three weeks ago.
During his visit to Gaza,
Mr. Zucker gathered testimo-
ny from Gaza residents and
said he heard stories of vio-
lent and excessive behavior
by the brigade during search-
es of Palestinian homes.
•
The Knesset member said
the stories should not be ac-
; cepted at face value but
should be checked, and that
2 he hoped the army would in-
vestigate them.
A spokeswoman for The
Prime Minister's Office had
no comment on Mr. Zucker's

report, saying she was not
sure it had been received.
The Zucker report followed
a letter last week also sent to
Mr. Rabin by the human
rights group, B'Tselem, call-
ing for an end to "the arbi-
trary illegal acts" committed
by soldiers in Gaza during the
closure.
According to testimony tak-
en by the group's field re-
searchers, residents were
"punched, slapped and/or
beaten with clubs by soldiers
during house-to-house search-
es without any provocation by
those beaten."
B'Tselem called for a thor-
ough investigation of the cas-
es reported to its
investigators.
An army spokesman said
charges of abuse during the
closure were being reviewed
and that a response would be
issued this week.

Are immutable friendship
and eternal peace among all
nations' dreams? No, hatred
and war are dreams, from
which we shall one day
awake.
