Dinitz Probe Ends,
Indictment Urged
Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel's
police have wrapped up their
investigation of Jewish
Agency Chairman Simcha
Dinitz and reportedly have
recommended that he be in-
dicted for financial wrongdo-
ings.
Police officials would not
disclose their recommenda-
tion about an indictment,
which in any case is not bin-
ding on state prosecutors.
But both Israel Radio and
Israel Television reported
that the police had found
grounds to press legal
charges against Mr. Dinitz
for using Jewish Agency
funds for personal purposes.
Such a recommendation, if
true, would put added
pressure on Mr. Dinitz to
step down from his post.
Some leaders of Jewish
philanthropic organizations
in North America have been
urging Mr. Dinitz to step
aside until the case against
him is concluded. They say
the scandal has hurt
Diaspora fund raising for
Israel.
But Mr. Dinitz has repeat-
edly denied that the affair
has had an adverse impact
on the fund-raising cam-
paign for the Jewish Agency,
which is the primary reci-
pient of United Jewish Ap-
peal funds raised for Israel.
When asked by Israel
Television whether the out-
come of the police investiga-
tion would harm the work of
the Jewish Agency, its
treasurer, Hanan Ben
Yehuda, said, "It's not going
to make things easier."
But when asked whether
Mr. Dinitz should step down
or take a leave of absence,
Mr. Ben Yehuda said it is up
to Mr. Dinitz himself.
"I think we are living in a
democratic environment and
society and country," said
the treasurer. He added that
the Jewish Agency should
pursue the appropriate legal
process and conclude after-
ward the proper course of ac-
tion.
This position is echoed by
those in Israeli political life
and the worldwide Zionist
movement who are suppor-
ting Mr. Dinitz, who also
chairs the World Zionist
Organization.
It is at odds, however, with
the position taken by many
leaders of the Diaspora fund-
raising organizations. A spe-
cial committee appointed by
the Jewish Agency board of
Simcha Dinitz:
Added pressure to step down.
governors to monitor the
impact of the affair on fund-
raising efforts is due to make
a recommendation by the
end of this month as to a
course of action regarding
Mr. Dinitz's future. The
Jewish Agency's executive
committee is scheduled to
discuss the advisory com-
mittee's recommendation at
an Aug. 31 session, and some
expect the meeting to result
in a vote of no confidence in
Mr. Dinitz. Foreign Minister
Shimon Peres has written
the advisory committee, ask-
ing that no action be taken .
Mr. Dinitz has
repeatedly denied
that the affair has
had an adverse
impact on the
fund-raising
campaign.
concerning Mr. Dinitz until
the state attorney decides
whether to prosecute him.
A similar letter was sent
by 15 prominent Labor Par-
ty members of Knesset to
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin. They also stressed
that Mr. Dinitz was dem-
ocratically elected to his post
and that it is "inconceivable"
that anyone in Israel or
abroad should be permitted to
"harm him or violate the
rules of justice and democracy
that prevail in a decent socie-
ty."
The signers included
Labor Party Secretary
Nissim Zvili, Deputy
Defense Minister Mordechai
Gur and Deputy Foreign
Minister Yossi Beilin. ❑
