TEL AVIV (WNS)-De-
fense Minister Ezer Weizman returned from Washington March 20 pleased by
the United States military
aid he had negotiated. But he
was criticized here for not
getting enough. Weizman
said that after his talks with
U.S. Defence Secretary
Harold Brown the U.S.
agreed to provide Israel $3
billion to aid its withdrawal
from the Sinai of which $2.2
billion would be a loan and
$800 million a grant. He also
said that the U.S. will also
provide Israel with military ■
items that have been denied
up to now. "This is quite fair
on their part," he said. He
said that Israel is also to get
100 F-16 jets and that de-
- livery will be speeded up.
But many government
sources, especially in the Finance Ministry, believe he
should have received U.S.
approval for the full $3.9 billion * Israel had asked to
cover the move from the
Sinai. They also said that
more of the U.S. aid should
have been in grants. •
'Weizman noted that when
^Tje wasTnttSTOS. TiTh"^-
America'ns speaking about
inflation and high prices.
"America has its problems
and it is nice that they gave
us what they said they
would," Weizman said.
Meanwhile, at the White
House, Presidential Press
Secretary Jody Powell disagreed that the $5 billion in
U.S. aid to Israel and Egypt
would have to come from
needed social programs in
the U.S. He said the allocations would be stretched
over three.or four years and
would come from a "number
of places" in the budget that
do not bear on anti-poverty
programs. Sen. William
Proxmire (D. Mis.), chairman of the Senate Banking
Committee,   who   opposed
U.S. military aid to foreign
'countries, declared that it is
"a remarkable contradiction" that President Carter
negotiated the peace but that
"in order to button up that
treaty we are going to have
to agree to $5 billion of arms-
exports to Egypt and Israel." However, the feelings
of most Congressmen, who
have been quoted so far, is in
support of the-proposed aid.
Rivlin Announces New JNF
Project Following Peace Treaty
NEW YORK (WNS)-The
Jewish National Fund plans
to-greatly increase its projects as a result of the, Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty,
Moshe Rivlin, chairman of
the JNF Board of Directors
revealed March 19. "As a direct consequence of the signing of a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt, the
JNF will triple its operation
in reclamation and development of new areas,-especially in the Negev," he told
the^SOOV delegates from
"acr^^tfieXrhiteorstateS attending the JNF's National
Assembly here. Rivlin said
contingency plans have already been worked out between the JNF and the Israeli government and Jewish Agency officials to begin
the work immediately after
the treaty is signed. He said
the JNF is about to approve
Europe Discreetly Mum On Treaty
By Edward Eytan
PARIS, (JTA)-Western
Europe has kept a striking
silence over the Israeli-
Egyptian peace treaty. The
European Economic Community (EEC) nine member-states, usually prompt to
react on most international
issues, have kept a discreet
silence. There has been no
joint communique welcoming the treaty, no messages
of good wishes and no official
rejoicings. This, in spite of
Europe's geographic proximity to the Middle East, its
heavy oil dependence on the
area and its traditional close
links with both Israel and
Egypt.
Some individual countries,
and usually at ministerial
level, have expressed some
satisfaction but the EEC as a
body had adopted an attitude
of "wait and see," withioffi-.
cials stressing, on the record
and privately, that the treaty
falls short of what they had
expected.
Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat has personally contacted most of West Eu
rope's leaders to explain his
decision and plead for then-
support. He has had over a
dozen such telephone conversations with France's
President Valery Giscard
d'Estaing, Germany's Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, Britain's Prime Minister James
Callaghan and even
Austria's Chancellor Bruno
Kreisky.
N Last week, his deputy
President Hosni Mubarak"
toured Western Europe,
meeting with all those
leaders again. To all he explained that the treaty is
only "a first step" towards a
comprehensive agreement
and that what Egypt now
needs is help and encourage-'
ment to break down the Arab
wall of hostility and suspicion:
A few days later, the
American Deputy Secretary
of State, Warren Christopher, undertook a similar
mission. At the onset, Christopher, according»to American sources, hoped to mobilize not only political support
and help set up a program of
European investments in
Egypt and Israel to help alleviate America's burden. The
only country which made no
promises but did not reject
him outright was West Germany. However, a few days
after his departure, even
Bonn fell in line withits European partners.
Western Europe refuses to
become involved in President Carter's peace plan.-Its
officials stress their skepticism on its chances pf success and some even say that
the treaty might be worse
than the previous situation of
no war and no peace,
The West Europeans are
not prepared to invest
money as part of the treaty
and are not even prepared to
use their influence with the
other Arab states to help
diminish their hostility to
Egypt ahd Sadat. Egyptian
diplomats in Paris openly
blame France for this West
European approach. They
claim, with a certain justification, that France has used
in Europe but also some fi-   its influence to turn the tide
nancial assistance for Egypt   against the treaty.
a budget that will enable it to
build the infrastructure for
20 new settlements in the
Negev near the Sinai border,
additional settlements in the
Negev near the Jordanian
border and 29 outposts in unsettled parts of the Galilee
which will develop into settlements. Rivlin stressed the
importance of increasing the
Jewish population of the
Galilee saying if this is not
done "we will all be sorry in
thefutuie."
Israeli President Yitzhak
' "Navon in a message to the
National Assembly said
"Wherever we go in Israel
we meet with'evidence of the
Jewish National Fund's well-
conceived efforts. We see
them in new roads, in the
growing extent and diversity
of wooded areas, in splendid
outdoor recreation facilities." Navon said the JNF
would be doing even more in
the immediate future. "You
will be working in cooperation with all factors involved
in intensive settlement of
Galilee and .the Negev, ahd
• swift development of both
these areas is absolutely essential to .Israel's security,
economy and future." .
Rabbi William Berkowitz,
the JNF's president, said the'
signing of the peace treaty
places the Middle East "at a
major crossroad." But he
urged caution. "Let us remember that the battle for a
secure and safe Israel is not
over even after a" peace
treaty is signed," Berkowitz
said. He declared that "Now
is the hour to stand up and
declare an.end to Israel's
isolation among the nations."
Minnesota State Sen.
Hubert H. Humphrey IH'told
the JNF that his trip to Israel two months ago to at-
' tend the dedication of the
Hubert H. Humphrey Parkway in the JNF's American
Bicentennial Park was one
of the most moving experiences he has had. "I experienced 4000 years of history
ih 10 days," he said. He said
Israel stands for "a.free,
