t doesn't look like much of a
project now, a clearing at the
edge of the rocky Judean
Hills, a hilltop where trucks
and earthmovers are preparing
the ground for what is to come.
The cornerstone was just laid
at a grand ceremony, dozens of
major builders are bidding for
the contracts, and construction
is due to begin in March. The
goal: to attract 250,000 Israelis
in the coming decades, to create
from scratch a new city just on
the sovereign side of the Green
Line, midway between Tel Aviv
and Jerusalem, called Modi'in.
It is an inspiring place, where
the air is bracing and there are

Modi'in promises to be suc-
cessful — the homes should be
reasonably priced, it is com-
muter distance to Tel Aviv and
Jerusalem, it doesn't have the
killing humidity of the central
plain, the natural surroundings
are gorgeous, and the man-
made city is likely to be im-
pressive.
By rights, a lot of people are
going to rush to move there.
The city has considerable po-
litical significance as well. It is
the "baby" of Binyamin "Fuad"
Ben-Eliezer, the hearty, well-
liked, Iraqi-born housing min-
ister who came out of the

hills all around and forests be-
low. The design for Modi'in,
made by the most prominent
architect to come out of Israel,
Moshe Safdie, calls for low-rise
apartment buildings, no high-
er than the trees, with white
and stone facades, and roads
that follow the gradual slope of
the hills. Parks, high-tech in-
dustrial zones, underground
parking, underground tele-
phone and electricity lines (a
first for Israel) are also planned.
The aim is to build an aes-
thetic city affordable for young
families, to create an alterna-
tive to both the suburbs that
sprawl across the overcrowded,
flat center of the country (where
there is work to be found, but
where housing prices keep go-
ing up and traffic becomes more
and more intolerable); and the
towns of the Negev and Galilee,
where homes are cheap but jobs
are scarce.

bets to inherit the Labor Party
leadership from Prime Minis-

While Mr. Rabin and Foreign
Minister Shimon Peres can
point to the Israel-PLO accord
as proof that the government
has made good on its promise
of a "new order of priorities" in
foreign affairs, Mr. Ben-Eliez-
er, alone among the cabinet
ministers, has delivered dra-
matically visible evidence of the
promised new order of domes-
tic priorities.
He is building new highways,
widening old highways and con-
structing overpasses through-
out the impacted center of the
country. Billboards at the side
of the roads announce when the
improvements are due to be fin-
ished, and even how many tens
