WASHINGTON (JTA) - The Democratic Platform Committee approved June 16 a policy statement on the' Middle East which calls for the strong support of Israel and the recognition by the United States of Jerusalem- as the capital.of the Jewish State. The statement is part of the platform which will be submitted to the Democratic National Convention in,New. York in July. % The last paragraph of a statement on the Middle East declares that "we recognize and support .the established status of Jeru- - salem as the capital of Israel with free access to all its holy places provided to all faiths. As a symbol of this stand the U.S. Embassy should be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem." The U.S. and most other coun¬ tries have refused to move their' embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The long Middle East statement also says: "We . shall continue to seek a just a and lasting peace in the ' Middle East. The corner¬ stone of our policy is a firm .commitment to the indepen¬ dence and-security of the State of Israel. This special relationship does not preju¬ dice improved relations with other nations in the region. Real peace in the Middle East will permit Israel and • her Arab neighbors to turn their energies to internal development and will elim¬ inate the threat of world conflict spreading from Rabin Defines 'Red Line' In Lebanon In Foreign Policy Statement To Knesset By David Landau Ahavas Sholom Congregation Planning Dinner For June 27 'Reservations -are < being accepted for k the unique dinner : planned by The 'Ahavas^ Sholom Congregation on Sunday, June 27,1976 at 6 p:'m. at the Ahavas Sholom Social HalL" 2568 E.

JEKUSALEM (JTA) *- Premier Yitzhak Rabin pre¬ sented a. detailed and Comprehensive review of Israel's foreign policy to the ^Knesset..June IS. which he defined the so- called "Red Line" with -respect to Lebanon,' took a conciliatory but firm posi¬ tion toward the Arab states ' and - assailed the Soviet Union. Moscow, of late, has be¬ come even more of an obsta¬ cle to progress towards peace in the Middle' East than previously, the Premier charged. Addressing the Knesset at the opening of - a major foreign policy debate, Rabin praised U.S. leaders r for backing Israel's refusal to attend a Geneva conference where the Palestine Libera¬ tion Organization was present.' He expressed appreciation of American military and political aid to Israel on an unprecedented level. He acknowledged that during,- -,there -were. f.dif|erenceiS, of outlook with Washington but said he was confident they would be overcome. , ' Rabin focussed on the situation in Lebanon Which, he stressed, was unpredict¬ able because it was "fluid and changing from hour to hour." He said he would "prefer not to say if or when a cease-fire will take hold or -if or when Lebanon will, return to being ah inde¬ pendent state." He said Israel was main¬ taining careful and constant surveillance of events in Lebanon. It prefers not 'to act, but "if a hew'situation t.-r '-TT- -^-r-_ ■ r -r arises, our own position could well change, in accord¬ ance with our security con¬ siderations," the Premier warned. In that connection Rabin explained the meaningof the -."Red Line," , ^...unofficial, label given to a hypothetical situation that could cause Israel to intervene in the .Lebanese conflict. He said it consisted of several compo- (CONTINUEDON PAGE 11) tensions there." „ The draft statement also said that the' fundamental U.S. principles in the Mid¬ east must include "our con- < sistent support of Israel, including sufficient military assistance to maintain. Israel's deterrent strength ... and the maintenance of " U.S. military forces in the Mediterranean adequate to deter intervention by the Soviet Union"; and opposi¬ tion to an imposed solution from outside while pro¬ moting "direct face-to-face negotiations between the parties and normalization of relations and a full peace 'within secure and defensible borders."' The statement said that a solution must be found to the " problem of both Arab and Jewish refugees,, but "such problems cannot be solved, however, by recognition of terrorist groups which refuse to acknowledge their adversary's right to exist or ..groupsjwhich have, no legiti-. mate claim to represent the» people for whom they purport to be speaking." " The draft statement also • declared that "we support (CONTINUEDON PAGE 12) Nat9!. Community Relations Advisory Council Meets -1- T-.. The Washington Post And Spiro Agnew (Copyright 1976, JTA, Inc.) ' (Editor'snote:Thisislhe ' second part.of a three-part investigative report series.) _ PART TWO.: WASHINGTON- Lust for money, vengefulness, latent, anti-, , Semitism, hypocrisy, and insensitivity' are - among explanations for Spiro T. Agnew's anti-Semitic - attacks in his writing and interviews against the . American media and U.S. ^policy of support to Israel. This; is the same Agnew, whom,. Jews helped become Govepior of Maryland from where he leaped to the Vice Presidency and came within sight of occupancy of the White House itself. Jews were among his most Important associates* while he was in office at Annapolis and later in Washington. He is also the same Agnew who, v after his disgrace, engaged in the lucrative' business related to Arabs and now says he'always thought U.S. policy towards Israel was wrong. A measure,of the range of views is the difference in the opinions of Victor Gold, Agnew's press man for three years .when he was Vice President, and William Safire, a former White House speechwriter for Richard Nixon and. a colleague of Agnew in his . heyday, Safire, now a-New York Times columnist, says "the Ted Agnew of 1970 was neither anti-Zionist nor anti- ' Jewish." What "turned him around" Is his "embittered" reaction to ' Jewish businessmen in Baltimore 'who became statetwitrirj&ses against him in Maryland's political scandals and forced him to resign' the Vice Presidency in disgrace. Gold contends-' Agnew's "rendering of variations on a theme by the Grand Kleagle has nothing to do with more ideological conviction" but "it has to do with selling Spiro Agnew, high bidder take all, until a better offer comes along, of course." Agreeing with'both Gold and Safire, a Baltimore Jewish 'community leader familiar with Agnew's ■ Maryland career told JTA both revenge and profit are behind Agnew's spewing. Agnew's purpose, he said, is "crass commercialism to sell his book and further his business interests." Baltimore , City Comptroller' Hyman Pressman, who opposed ■Agnew' -in 1966 'as -an ' independent candidate for governor, but supported him in the 1972 election,' sees Agnew as' a businessman pleasing Arabs because he "has attempted to make profit from the oil barons and currently is continuing on that road even if he has to foment hatred against the ■ Jews." A member of the prosecution staff that brought Agnew's disgrace remarked to JTA "I'll be damned if I know what motivates him." He said he saw no trace of anti- Semitism in Agnew during . the prosecution "but then we didn't look for that. But that it does exist is evident by his book and the words from his mouth on television." Agnew himself, however," said in his interview with NBC's Barbara Walters that » - - , (CONTINUEQON,PA,3E,Wf Ambassador Simcha Dinitz will be the keynote speaker at the Plenary Session of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory .Council, to be held in Louisville, Kentucky, June 27-30.
