According to a Kremlin source, Mr. Yeltsin believes that the reputation of Boris Berezovsky, a businessman-turned-politician, was seriously damaged by the re- cent scandal that erupted when it was reported that he had ap- plied for and received Israeli cit- izenship. Mr. Berezovsky, who in the early 1990s made a fortune in the automobile business, was ap- pointed deputy secretary of Rus- sia's National Security Council in October. Within weeks, reports sur- faced in the Moscow press that he had been a citizen of the Jew- ish state since 1993. Mr. Berezovsky denied at the time that he had drat citizenship and said he would sue the news- papers for libel. But he later admitted to re- porters that he had indeed at one time possessed an Israeli pass- port, adding that he had re- quested that the passport be annulled after he was appointed to the security council. Settlers Meet With Arafat Jerusalem (JTA) — A group of Jewish settlers met secretly with Palestinian Authority leader Yassir Arafat to discuss tolerance and joint business pro- jects. During the 90-minute meet- ing in Bethlehem, Mr. Arafat welcomed the participants and stressed that the recognition of Palestinian rights was the only way to peaceful coexis- tence. `There have always been Jews among us and we have lived as good neighbors," he was quoted as saying. "While we spoke main- ly about economic dialogue, this depends on recognition of the po- litical rights of the Palestinian people." David Bedein, a resident of Efrat who participated in the meeting, said it was prompted by an interest in tourism and business on both sides. He said many Palestinians in the business community who had been approached by their Jewish counterparts were un- willing to pursue contacts with- out the go-ahead from Arafat. Mr. Bedein said it made sense for Jews and Palestinians to work together in tourism, espe- cially in areas between Bethle- hem and Hebron, which have numerous Jewish, Christian and Muslim holy sites. The meeting also addressed political issues, Mr. Bedein said. He said the group of settlers, which included residents from Hebron and Kiryat Arba, asked, "When will he say something in favor of the peace process," giv- en "all the incitement he has ex- pressed to the Arab public?" He added that regardless of the difficulties in the political process, he believed that eco- nomic ties could flourish. "You can do business with your neighbor, even if you hate your neighbor," he told Israel Radio. Among those who attended the meeting was Yehuda Wachs- man, whose son Nachshon was kidnapped and killed by mem- bers of the Islamic fundamen- talist Hamas movement two years ago. Mr. Wachsman said he sought Mr. Arafat's support in estab- lishing a center to teach toler- ance among Jews and Arabs. "I described the plan for the center, and offered to include the Palestinian Authority," he said. Association spokesman Jozef Weiss told a Czech newspaper that the gold "was stolen from Slovak Jews during the war and then transferred to Prague." The Czech National Bank is a successor to the State Bank of Czechoslovakia, which obtained the gold from the Slovak gov- ernment in 1953. The association wants Slovak victims of the Nazis, who creat- ed a puppet government in Slo- vakia during the war, to be compensated by the bank. The location of the gold, how- ever, is not clear. Bank spokesman Pavel Palivec said all its assets, gold included, were divided between the Czech Republic and Slovakia when Czechoslavakia split into the two countries in 1993. But the Slovak government maintains that the gold in ques- tion was kept separate from oth- er assets and was therefore not included in the division of former federal assets. WASHINGTON, D.C. COMING SOON TO MIAMI. According to a Russian law that Mr. Yeltsin signed this sum- mer, no Russian can be employed in government service if he or she possesses a second citizen- ship.
