It's Not Too Late! You can still take Adult Hebrew at Midrasha this Fall Haiti-Bound Police Delayed Tel Aviv (JTA) — The departure of a 30-member Israeli police con- tingent that was to assume peacekeeping duties in Haiti has been postponed pending further consideration by the Cabinet and the High Court of Justice. The 28 men and two women who volunteered to help restore stability in Haiti were to have left Israel for Puerto Rico for pre- Haiti training. But Prime Minis- ter Yitzhak Rabin decided to wait first for the approval of his Cab- inet at a meeting scheduled for later in the week. Mr. Rabin authorized the con- tingent on Sept. 11, after Presi- dent Clinton telephoned for Israeli assistance in the multi- national effort to bring democra- tic rule to Haiti. The request marked the first time Israel was invited to participate in an in- ternational force. At the same time, the High Court of Justice is considering an appeal by former Kach activist Noam Federman to consider the constitutional legality of sending Israeli police on an overseas mis- sion. Mr. Federman argued that the peacekeeping mission violates Is- raeli law, which authorizes the police to deal only with domestic issues. The court apparently agreed that Mr. Federman had a point, despite arguments by govern- ment attorney Arye Romanov that the policemen were not be- ing sent as police, but rather as volunteers who happened to be police. Justices Dov Levine, Yitzhak Zamir and Theodor Orr agreed that sending volunteers would be within the government's author- ity. But they said the government appeared to be blurring the line between volunteers and acting police, and this might create a le- gal problem. The justices also criticized the government for not investigating the legal issues surrounding the sending of the peacekeeping mis- sion. They called on Attorney General Michael Ben-Yair to pre- pare a legal opinion on whether new legislation was needed. A Jordanian military contin- gent, meanwhile, reportedly left Amman to serve in Haiti. The 150-soldier force, dispatched as the result of a request from Clin- ton, boarded a U.S. military air- craft as King Hussein and the U.S. ambassador to Jordan, Wes- ley Egan, Jr., looked on. In the aftermath of the U.S. oc- cupation of Haiti, some 17 coun- tries are expected to send peacekeeping missions to the Caribbean nation in an effort to help restore the country's elect- ed government.
