t Aish HaTorah tinians, but with the Israeli peo- ple. The fact that there are talks is not contested. Only their na- ture is disputed." The Likud mayor of Jerusalem, Ehud Olmert, alleged that two such sessions had tak- en place in Arab east Jerusalem last November and December. Mr. Olmert claimed the Israeli academics told their Arab part- ners they had received a green light from Yossi Beilin, an insti- gator of the 1992-93 Oslo dia- logue, and a Peres protege now Minister Without Portfolio. Ac- cording to Ha'aretz, they do in- deed report their impressions to Beilin. As evidence of political division already taking place, Mr. Ne- tanyahu said Orient House, the PLO's base in east Jerusalem, was functioning like a de facto foreign ministry. (The Public Se- curity Minister, Moshe Shahal, announced on Monday that he will act to stop visiting foreign ministers from going to Orient House; it remains to be seen whether he follows through.) Mr. Netanyahu said that an- other 10 offices of the Palestinian Authority were operating in East Jerusalem. So was Colonel Jibril Rajoub's internal security service. "Jerusalem is being politically redivided," the Likud leader com- plained. "I'm afraid that, as sure as night follows day, it will even- tually lead to a physical division." Likud also has grounds for ac- cusing Rabin and Mr. Peres of pursuing this policy by their hav- ing allowed East Jerusalem vot- ers to cast, within city limits, ballots for the Palestinian coun- cil last month. But so far the right has failed to mobilize public opin- ion behind its protests. In practice, most Israelis have acquiesced in a division of Jerusalem since the Intifada up- rising started eight years ago. Apart from the Jewish Quarter and the Western Wall in the Old City, they stay away from the Arab side of town. For his part, Mr. Netanyahu declined to call the Prime Minis- ter a liar and contended that poli- cies, not personalities, were the issue. But, without a drastic change in the polls, the Likud campaign can only become more desperate — and personal. ❑ Publicity Deadlines The normal deadline for local news and publicity items is noon Thursday, eight days pri- or to issue date.
