Israel Apologizes
To Ambassador

Washington (JTA) — The Is-
raeli Foreign Ministry has for-
mally apologized for an incident
in which a member of the Knes-
set leveled an anti-Semitic epi-
thet at U.S. Ambassador to
Israel Martin Indyk, himself a
Jew.
Still smarting from being
called a "yehudon" by Rehavam
Ze'evi during a recent parlia-
mentary session on the peace
process, Mr. Indyk reportedly
stared the right-wing Knesset
member down at a chalice meet-
ing.

Ephraim Sneh, a Labor Party
member of Knesset who was
nearby, told reporters that Mr.
Indyk turned' to Mr. Ze'evi and
said, "The last time someone
called me a Jew boy I was 15
years old and he got a punch in
the face."
Mr. Ze'evi, a member of the
right-wing Moledet Party
replied, "Try me," and again
called Indyk to his face
"yehudon," apparently for pres-
suring Israel to make concessions
to the Palestinians.
According to Mr. Sneh, Mr. In-
dyk shot back, "You are a dis-
grace to the State of Israel," to
which Mr. Ze'evi replied in Eng-
lish: "And you are a son of a
bitch."
After the ceremony where the
exchange took place, Mr. Ze'evi
approached Mr. Indyk and apol-
ogized.
The exchange prompted a rare
Foreign Ministry statement crit-
icizing a member of the Knesset.
In addition, the ministry's direc-
tor general, Eitan Bentsur, called
Mr. Indyk to apologize.
Mr. Indyk, a former official of
the American Israel Public Af-
fairs Committee and a rising star
in the U.S. diplomatic corps, is
on the short list to become as-
sistant secretary of state for Near
Eastern Affairs, the top post for
Mideast policy.

Israeli Military
Strengthens Ties

Jerusalem (JTA) — The Israel
Defense Force chief of staff, Lt.
Gen. Amnon Shahak, left for vis-
its to South Africa and Thailand
with the goal of strengthening
Israel's military ties with the two
states.
Israel has been concerned by
a South African proposal to sell
tank firing systems to Syria.
In another development,
Turkey's defense minister is due
to visit Israel in what will be the
first such trip by a Turkish min-
ister.
During the past year, Israel
and Turkey strengthened their
military ties with a number of co-
operation agreements — includ-
ing plans for joint air maneuvers
in Turkish air space — that have
drawn sharp criticism from Arab
states. -
Last month, the two countries
launched a $632.5 million pro-
ject in which Israel will upgrade
54 Turkish F-4 fighter jets.
