The wide-ranging discussion at the Knesset building included United
Jewish Communities initiatives in Israel and increasing the rate of aliyah
from distressed communities, especially Argentina.
It also covered the prime minister-elect's conditions for resuming for-
mal peace talks with the Palestinian Authority.
New York-based UJC represents 189 Jewish Federations and 400 inde-
pendent communities in North America.
"Sharon made it clear that he's in favor of peace discussions, but not
until Yasser Arafat makes a public declaration to end the violence, that
he stops inciting people to take action against Israel through television
and newspapers, and that there is more of the return to security servic-
es," said Tauber, who chairs UJC's executive committee.
"So before he'll sit down and talk peace — or the end of hostilities —
these three things are going to have to be done."
