pecially in the long-neglected
Arab sector.
The Rabin government's "new
order of priorities" — more at-
tention to quality of life for all Is-
raelis, and less to nationalistic
enterprises such as building West
Bank settlements in a sea of
Palestinians — is nowhere ex-
pressed so decisively as in edu-
cation.
But these nuts-and-bolts im-
provements do not make head-
lines; conflicts over age-old issues
like religion and politics do.
Other big stories of the new
school year included the entrance
of Conservative, Reform and oth-
er non-Orthodox streams into the
teaching of Jewish studies. The
strong Orthodox opposition also
was noted.
Israeli Arab schools in Jaffa
didn't open on time because par-
ents protested the registration of
some 100 children of Palestinian
collaborators. And pettiest of all,
the Jerusalem municipality got
into a spat with the Palestinian
Authority over the PA's plans to
print its symbol on schoolbooks
in Arab East Jerusalem. The mu-
nicipality voiced its intention to
paste stickers with its own sym-
bol over the symbol of the PA.
The Palestinian Authority, in
turn, was considering pasting its
own stickers over the stickers of
the Jerusalem municipality.

Israel Requests
Seven Suspects

Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel has
formally asked the Palestinian
Authority to hand over seven
Palestinians suspected of killing
or attacking Israelis.
Justice Minister David Libai
made the request at a meeting
with his Palestinian counterpart,
Frei Abu Medein, at the Erez
checkpoint in Gaza.
Speaking at a news conference
afterward, Mr. Medein said the
Palestinians would review the re-
quest.
Under the Cairo pact signed in
May 1994 by Israel and the
Palestine Liberation Organiza-
tion, Israel can seek the extra-
dition of Palestinians who seek
refuge in the self-rule areas after
being suspected of attacking Is-
raelis.
Relatedly, Mr. Medein asked
that Israel look into the alleged
kidnapping of four residents of
the Gaza Strip. He said three of
them were later convicted by Is-
rael of involvement in the mur-
der of Israelis.
He also asked Israel to inves-
tigate what he called "the mas-
sacre" of 400 Palestinian civilians.
