Mideast Resolution JERUSALEM (WNS) — Informed sources have revealed that the government has reversed itself and is now barring Israeli firms from importing sement from trie Soviet Union. The reason for the change, according to the. sources, is that it was felt that it would be unwise at a time when Israel was pressing the Soviet Union for unrestricted Jewish emigration and might hamper the .aliya campaign. Meanwhile the Soviet newspaper Izvestia charged the report was an Israeli plot to damage the Soviet Union's relations with the Ar3.h ststcs | JERUSALEM (WNS) — Premier Golda Meir told ithe Knesset that comparing the situation of the Jewish 'people and thai of the Palestinian Arabs was a ,"complete distortion". She said Jews around the world 'live outside their homeland since Israel is the only • country "where the people of Israel can live in Jewish ) independence." Mrs. Meir said the Palestinians can . express their nationality in Jordan and reiterated her ' view that there is no room for a third state between Israel and Jordan. Mrs. Meir also said Israel would 1 never negotiate with the Arab terrorist organizations. •i JERUSALEM (WNS) — Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren | speaking at the 63rd annual convention of the American Mizrachi Movement, said diaspora Jewry faces the greatest assimilation threat in its history. He said in many regions of the U.S. 40 percent of Jewish youth intermarry. He also decried the lack of religious courts in the U.S. Goren said the battle of "Who is a Jew" is to a certain extent a battle over the integrity of the Jewish people in the diaspora. He told the delegates to the convention that if they were concerned about the ' religious situation in Israel they should settle here , "and join thousands of religious' Jews indetermining klhe character of the country," UNITED NATIONS, (JTA) -- The United States vetoed on July 26 an eight- nation Security Council draft resolution that deplored Israel's occupation of territories taken in 1967. Thirteen of the 15 Council members voted in favor of the resolution. The People's Republic of China did not' participate in the vote. Huang Hua, the Chinese Ambassador, explained later that he did not par¬ ticipate in the vote because a resolution must "strongly condemn" what the termed the Israeli-Zionist clique for prolonged aggression, must ask for immediate and total withdrawal, and call for the restitution of the rights of the Palestinians. The draft had cited "respect" for the "rights and legitimate aspirations of the Palestinians." ,' The resolution drafted by. Guinea, India, Indonesia, Kenya, .Panama, .Peru, Sudan"and Yugoslavia also, expressed "serious concern at Israel's lack of cooperation" with Dr: Gunnar V. Jarring, the special representative of Secretary General Kurt Waldheim. After the vote, US Ambassador John Scali said the draft resolution was "unbalanced" and "unrealistic" and the U.S. had vetoed it because the draft would have un¬ dermined Resolution 242. Scali said he was "deeply disappointed by the outcome of this debate" and noted the resolution, instead of focusing on agreement, was more concerned with judging the past. He reiterated that Resolution 242 is the only measure agreed on by all the parties in the Mideast dispute and remains the framework for. solving the conflict. "Casting a veto is never easy," Scali explained, but pointed out that it was necessary in view of the "unbalanced and partisan resolution." Scali had at¬ tempted before the last session to have the resolution modified so that the U.S. could abstain rather than veto.
