Reining In
Islamic Group
Jerusalem (JM)
Israel has announced
it will begin monitoring the activities of
an Islamic group that has a large follow-
ing among Israeli Arabs.
As part of the new campaign, offi-
cials plan to probe links between the
Islamic Movement and Hamas, Public
Security Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami said
Monday.
The move comes after two Israeli
Arabs who carried out car bombings ear-
lier this month in Haifa and Tiberias
were linked to the movement. Prime
Minister Ehud Barak ordered the cam-
paign after consulting with his Cabinet
Ministers Sunday.
The measures include monitoring the
Islamic Movement's activities, reviewing
the funding sources of institutions
linked to the movement and monitoring

members of the Islamic Movement who
travel to Jordan for gatherings of Islamic
leaders.
Officials with the movement criti-
cized the move, saying Israel was punish-
ing the entire Israeli Arab population for
the crimes of a few. Some Israeli security
officials said the moves did not go far
enough.
The Cabinet rejected some of the
more severe measures recommended by
the police and the Shin Bet domestic
security service. These included sealing
the home of a local cleric killed in the
bombing in Tiberias.
Amir Masalha is believed to have
recruited the perpetrators of the two
attacks in which the bombs apparently
exploded prematurely, killing three of
the perpetrators and seriously wounding
an Israeli woman who was passing by.
The Cabinet also rejected recommen-
dations to close down media linked to
the Islamic Movement, including a
newspaper and radio and television sta-
tions suspected of inciting against Israel.
Ben-Ami, who opposed such a crack-
down on the media outlets, said the
moderate stance taken by the govern-
ment reflected its wish to adopt a pin-
point approach to the matter, rather
than declare war on all of the Israeli-
Arab population. ❑
