Cabinet Minister
Speaks To Arab Group

Washington (JTA) — The
once-extraordinary sight of
an Israeli Cabinet minister
addressing assembled Arab
Americans is becoming
almost surrealistically
routine these days.
Two weeks ago, it was
Israeli Housing Minister
Binyamin Ben- Eliezer ad-
dressing a joint group of top
Jewish and Arab American
organizational officials.
And last week, Health
Minister Haim Ramon ad-
dressed the annual conven-
tion of the National Associ-
ation of Arab Americans,
one of the major Arab
American lobbying groups.
But another Israeli official

Benyamin Ben-Elizer:
Israeli Housing Minister

who was scheduled to appear
before the group, Ambas-
sador Itamar Rabinovich,
did not show up, and conflic-
ting explanations were
given for his decision.
In his speech, Mr. Ramon
spoke of a "new era" and
pointed out that this was the
first appearance by an
Israeli minister before the
NAAA.
Mr. Ramon, who spoke on
a panel with Egypt's ambas-
sador to Washington, Ahm-
ed Maher el-Sayed, received
applause from the crowd
assembled for the lunchtime
session.
He urged the Arab Ameri-
cans to remember that not
only Palestinians have a
"public opinion" that needs
to be placated and satisfied.
"We also have public opi-
nion in Israel," he said, and
"without the support of
public opinion we cannot
make progress in the peace
process."
Mr. Ramon also urged an
end to the Arab economic

boycott of Israel, specifically
the secondary boycott of
companies doing business
with Israel.
After discussing various
problems along the route to
peace, including the continu-
ing stalemate on the Israeli-
Syrian negotiating track,
the Israeli Cabinet minister
spoke of his hopes for the
Middle East.
He said the Israeli people
were beginning to feel the
stirrings of a new era in the
region. Since the signing of
the Israeli-Palestinian
autonomy agreement in
September, he said, Israelis
have been returning to the
restaurants they once fre-
quented in heavily Arab
eastern Jerusalem but had
abandoned in recent years.
Mr. Ramon thanked the
Egyptian ambassador for
Egypt's role in working to
facilitate progress in the
peace process.
Mr. Rabinovich, who is
Israel's ambassador to
Washington, vvas to have
addressed the group as part
of a separate panel along
with the Jordanian ambas-
sador to Washington, Fayez
Tarawneh.
But neither ambassador
appeared.
Rumors floating around
the convention suggested
that Mr. Rabinovich had
been dissuaded from coming
by Abraham Foxman, na-
tional director of the Anti-
Defamation League.
The ADL is currently the
subject of a lawsuit by the
NAAA and other groups,
who are charging that ADL
spied on them.
Foxman said in an inter-
view that while he would not
deny having called Mr.
Rabinovich, he had not told
the ambassador what to do
nor urged him not to attend
the convention. ❑
