What About Arafat?

Israeli politicos split on working with
or exiling the Palestinian leader.

issue. Moreover, Ben-Eliezer said, he
was adamantly opposed to expelling
Arafat, and Labor would leave the gov-
ernment if the step was approved.
The heads of Israel's intelligence
services backed Ben-Eliezer.
The coordinator of government activ-
ities in the West Bank, Amos Gilead, a
former high-ranking intelligence official,
said an exiled Arafat would stir up seri-
ous trouble for Israel abroad, particular-
ly in Jordan and Egypt.
The compromise between the Likud
and Labor ministers was the bizarre
decision to "isolate" Arafat in his
Ramallah compound.
If the aim was to bypass Arafat or
pressure him into a cease-fire, so far it
has failed: All it has done is win
worldwide sympathy for Arafat.
The Cabinet clash reflects a deep
dilemma in the Israeli government
over what to do about Arafat. A
minority school of thought, led by
Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, holds
that Arafat is the only Palestinian with
the authority to push through a deal
with Israel, and that the Israeli govern-
ment has erred in trying to undermine
his leadership.
The dominant school, to which
both Sharon and Ben-Eliezer belong,
maintains that Arafat has no intention
of cutting a deal with Israel, and that a
way must be found to bypass him.

It Doesn't Have
To Cost A Fortune...

Featuring:

or months, Israeli Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon has
been convinced that the
main problem in Israel's
relations with the Palestinians is the
leader of the Palestinian Authority,
Yasser Arafat.
With virtually any other potential
Palestinian leader, Sharon believes, he
would be able to work out a cease-fire
and make progress towards peace.
That's why in January he defined
Arafat as "irrelevant," and why in
March he made up his mind to expel
him from the Palestinian territories.
In fact, when Sharon walked into
the Cabinet meeting in late March
that approved Israel's biggest military
operation against Palestinian terror
since the 1982 Lebanon War, he was
determined to get approval for Arafat's
expulsion as well.
But when Sharon raised the idea of
exile he was met by a chorus of dissent.
Defense Minister and Labor Party
leader Benjamin Ben-Eliezer was furi-
ous that Sharon had not told him in
advance that he planned to discuss the

n a campaign reminiscent of
one undertaken during the
1973 Yom Kippur War, when
Israel's survival was at stake,
the North American federation sys-
tem is hoping to raise hundreds of
millions of dollars for Israel in the
coming months.
Robert Schrayer, chair of the UJA
Federation Campaign of the United
Jewish Communities, said the situa-
tion in Israel now "may be even more
drastic than things were in 1973."

"It's different because it's a different
kind of conflict, but just as serious, if
not more so," he said.
The UJC's board of trustees is
expected to vote Monday to approve
an emergency campaign for various
needs as Israel engages in its war
against terrorism. The funds are
expected to aid victims of terrorism,
rebuilding infrastructure damaged in
terrorist attacks, crisis management
and other social services.
Most of the UJC's existing $42.5
million campaign for Argentine Jews
will be folded into the new cam-
paign, dubbed Israel Emergency
Campaign, with most of the money
