Egypt never incorporated Gaza, nev- er considered it Egyptian terri- tory and never demanded it during the Camp David nego- tiations. Yet there are those who are hopeful, however tentatively, that this troubled chunk of land may prove something of a mir- acle. Perhaps, Chaim Brickman suggests, it holds the key to Middle East peace. "It's just the beginning of the process." Francine Rosemberg Dr. Brickman, co-president of Mizrachi, the Orthodox Zionist Organization of Detroit, believes it's just possible that an independent, financially sta- ble Gaza could satisfy the Arabs. "We've only viewed Gaza from the perspective of war and the intifada," he said. "But what if everything in Gaza works out well. Perhaps this could be seen as a semi (Palestinian) home- land." What Israel needs to do now is guarantee its own security and carefully monitor develop- ments in the Gaza Strip. Arabs, he said, must be given several years to "prove themselves." "But given the general mi- lieu, this is an option that could bear some fruit." ❑ High Court Rejects Peace Now Petition Cultured Stone 'Thin Brick 'Mantels "Marble 'Gas Logs heatilator During the Six-Day War of 1967, Israel captured Gaza, the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and the Sinai Desert (later returned to Egypt as part of the Camp David Accords). Today, claims are wide- spread for sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, where 1.8 million Arabs live (about 15,000 of whom are in Jericho). The Palestinians have long argued for a state that would include, at minimum, all of the West Bank, including Jerusalem. Throughout Jewish history, Judea and Samaria have con- stituted the heart of the Land of Israel. Hebron was King David's first capital, and vir- tually every city in Judea and Samaria was founded by Jews. Jordan also lays claim to the area. Established by Britain in 1920 (in the words of Winston Churchill, "One morning after breakfast I created Jordan"), Jordan took over the territory during Israel's 1948 War of Independence. King Abdullah promptly annexed the area and designated it the "West Bank," to show his sovereignty over both banks of the Jordan River. The other side of the coin is the beleaguered Gaza. Many Israelis are more than ready to relinquish the area — home of the intifada insurrec- tion against Israel and a con- stant source of economic and security concerns. Some 850,000 Arabs, most of whom are unskilled and uneducated, live in Gaza. Advertising in The Jewish News Gets Results Place Your Ad Today. Call 354-6060 Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel's High Court of Justice has refused to rule whether set- tlements in the ad- ministered territories violate international law. A petition filed two years ago by Peace Now, a coali- tion of peace activists in Israel, argued that any set- tlement not needed for security represents a clear violation of international law. The petition also claimed that the settlements violate Israel's democratic prin- ciples because of the ine- quitable treatment of Jewish settlers and their Arab neighbors in the territories. But the court ruled last week that the petition "relates to matters of policy which are the province of the other branches of a dem- ocratic regime." Chief Justice Meir Shamgar indicated in his written opinion that if the petition had addressed the impact or injury of a specific settlement, that would have been a different case. In rejecting Peace Now's petition, Justice Shamgar cited a 1975 U.S. Supreme Court opinion that courts should refrain from address- ing issues of governmental policy. Otherwise, he said, "the courts would be called to decide abstract questions of wide public significance, even though other govern- mental institutions may be more competent to address the questions." In a concurring opinion, Justice Eliezer Goldberg said the question of the set- tlements "stands at the center of the peace process, which is second to nothing in importance." ❑
