RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTOS By Joseph Polakoff WASHINGTON (JTA) - The Shah of Iran and his Foreign Minister told a U.S. Congressional delegation recently that Israel's "existence must be recognized" and that "Palestine should be recognized as , an independent state and become a member of the United Nations in the same manner as Israel." However, the Iranian leaders said, according to the Congressional report, that while "Iran believes that the lands occupied since 1967" should be returned ''there is a question as to whom they should be returned." According to the report, the Iranian leadership declared "The Rabat conference did not necessarily foreclose Jordan as representatives for the Palestinians." The delegation report said that "Iran voted for the UN resolution on Zionism as a gesture of, solidarity with the Arab.bloc.V The report was made by Sen. Thomas J. Mclntyre (D. NH). On the trip with him during the last ten days in November were Sen. Thomas Mogan (D. NO and eight Republican and Democratic members of the -use. In reporting the delegation's discussion with Israel's Premier, the delegation said Yitzhak Rabin declared that Israel does not believe it has the right to decide who represents the Palestinians but. that prospects for a solution of the Palestinian issue would be good if negotiated between Israel and Jordan. Rabin also said, according to the report, that U.S. aid to Egypt serves the interests of the United States and hot of Israel. "All it means to him is that Israel will be faced with U.S. rather than Soviet weapons in the event of war," the report said. "However, he does not oppose U.S. economic aid to Egypt. . By Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA) - Foreign Minister Yigal Allon said Dec. 24 that Israel does not ignore the issue of Palestinian identity and warned that to do so would not weaken but strengthen the Palestine Liberation Organization in the international arena. Allon made his remarks to the Knesset in reply to an agenda motion by Likud MK Eliezer Beeri criticizing the government's propaganda efforts against the PLO. The Knesset, at Alton's request, struck off the agenda a motion by Likud MK Moshe Arens proposing that Israel refuse to accept in the United Nations peace¬ keeping forces on the Golan Heights and in Sinai, contingents from countries that voted in favpr of the General Assembly's resolution equating Zionism with racism. On the Palestinian issue, Allon noted that the term "Palestinian identity" was not a new addition to Israel's political dictionary but was used.in the past. He cited the Cabinet's resolution of July 21, 1974 that recognized the existence of the question of "the expression of self- identity" by the Palestinians. He warned that "whoever insists on not even acknowledging this problem will not only fail to weaken the PLO and its objectives but will in the (CONTINUED ON PAGE 3). State Dept. Accused Of Trying To Stop Trip Cancellations del WASHINGTON (JTA) — Rep. Joshua Eilberg (D. Pa.) accused the State Department Dec. 24 of deliberately trying to discourage American citizens from cancelling trips to countries that voted for the , anti-Zionist resolutions adopted at the recently ended 30th session The Second "Reassessment" Of Israel By Joseph Polakoff WASHINGTON (JTA) - : In the American Israeli diplomatic relationship, Washington/has reached the third stage, of it? process to induce the Rabin Government to have a representative participate in the United Nations Security Council's Middle East debate beginning Jan. 12,on equal terms with the. Palestine - Liberation .Organization. Washington's pressures are similar but not as harsh as last June and July when the Sinai accord was the goal of the Administration's ^reassess¬ ment." To observers here, the second, or current treatment, is effective enough. The U;S. announcement that Israeli Foreign Minister Yigal Allon is to visit for two days of consultations Jan. 7 and 8 appears to mean, to these observers, that the question now istywt whether Israel will join in the discussion but under what "under¬ standings." How is this done? The first step in the U.S. reassessment towards getting the PLO into the discussions and Israel to go along with/ it was most visibly seen in the statement to Congress Nov. 12 by Harold-Saunders, who was then Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for.the Middle East but was. promptly promoted to. Assistant Secretary for Research. Next came "quiet diplomacy." This entailed a slowdown of the movement of military equipment, a "bureaucratic" mistake on credits to be allowed Israel in foreign aid that did not ', move the Rabin Government but began to divide his Cabinet. Going into the second stage« Secretary of State ;Henry A. Kissinger performed ''pen diplomacy'' with a public confirmation that he has indicated to Israel it should enter? the discussion.,This category includes a high level, campaign in favored media on the reasonableness' of the Council's decision and its support by the U.S. . Now, in the third phase, the going is getting rough. President Ford, in his second rebuke to Israel in six months, warned against leaking U.S. messages as if the U.S.. never leaked another country's messages when it suited Washington. His first rebuke came during Israel's "intransigence" last June. Simultaneously, propaganda is being floated through the usual jnedia intended to put Israel again in a bad light with American public opinion-. This category includes tales about Israel cheating on its financial situation and on its armed strength. Israel is loaded with atomic bombs, one widely known commentator held. While the crescendo of the anti-Israel campaign has not reached last summer's volume, the pressure has had its calculated effects. There is a deep wish among many influential pro-Israelis in America and among Israelis themselves to avoid a second confrontation with the United States. That Washington is aware of this and using it for its purposes is evident in the speed with which it-is pursuing the PLO element to get a settlement of some kind before this Administration winds up its 1976 campaign. Kissinger himself publicly has, been scrupulously pro-Israel regarding assistance. But elements in .the State Department have turned blind eyes towards Israeli .concerns in other ways. Some examples: ; When Israel raided guerrilla centers in Lebanon, the Department (CONTINUED ON PAGE 3) of the United Nations General Assembly. In a letter to Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, Eilberg charged that the State Department was "advising the Civil Aeronautics Board not to permit persons who had previously paid for trips to countries which had supported the resolutions to cancel their reservations." Eilberg referred specifically to a trip to Brazil sponsored by the Jewish "Y" of Greater Philadelphia, scheduled to depart Dec. 27. , The .trip was cancelled but the State Department has urged the CAB to reject requests for a refund of the air fares paid in advance, Eilberg said. "This action would force the people to go to countries where they would feel uncomfortable and be unhappy at the very least, or they would have to forfeit the' cost of the vacation which they had paid in advance, the Congressman wrote. He said that "Obviously, the State Department is more ■ concerned about the feelings of a government of a foreign nation than those of the citizens of the United States in whose interest the department is supposed to be working."
