"Muslim youths attacked every vehicle whose driver they believed to be Christian." The violence immediately sparked warnings about the millennium festiv- ities. Officials in Nazareth and in the Israeli government have already invest- ed millions of dollars in development projects — including the renewal of the ancient market, paving new roads and rehabilitating old buildings — in preparation for the influx of tourists expected to arrive from all over the world to mark the millennium. But as things stand now, even the regular stream of tourists, mostly Israelis who visit the town on week- ends, has dwindled. "If the conflict continues," said Amir Orly, a tourist guide, "the pil- grims will not come — neither to Nazareth, nor to the Sea of Galilee, nor will they come at all." Unable to reach an agreement among themselves, Christians and Muslims in Nazareth tossed the ball into the hands of the Israeli govern- ment. Mayor Jeraisi said it was only fitting that Israel intervene because the land in dispute is state land — that is, it is up to Israel to decide how it should be used. Islamic politicians countered that the land is under the control of the wakf, the Muslim body responsible for overseeing Islamic holy sites. Now an Israeli ministerial commit- tee has ruled that Nazareth's Muslim community may build the mosque — provided they removed the protest tent they had erected at the site. Salman Abu-Ahmad, an Islamic leader in Nazareth, rejected the decision. The decision is not serious," he said. It does not meet our minimum demands." Abu-Ahmad called on the Israeli government to recognize that the land in dispute belongs to the wakf, adding that only once such recognition is given will Muslim leaders be willing to discuss the size of the mosque. Abu-Ahmad charged that the Israeli government was giving in to interna- tional pressure — meaning the church. For their part, church officials expressed the hope that the ministeri- al decision would help restore calm to Nazareth. Just the same, however, they described that decision as a "victory for the Muslims." Even were the decision to win the approval of both sides — which appears unlikely, given the initial reactions — it may be subject to change after Israel holds its elections next month. Once a new government is formed, Israeli leaders may once again have to take a stab at working out a compro- mise acceptable to both Islamic and church officials.
