JERUSALEM (WNS)-
Premier Menachem Begin
has urged President Elias
Sarkis of Lebanon to come to
Jerusalem to negotiate a
peace treaty with Israel. "I
am also willing to go in a
civilian plane to Beirut to
reach a peace agreement,"
Begin said in a speech at the
Knesset May 7. The Premier
said the problem of the
Palestinians ih Lebanon
could be solved by resettling
them in Saudi Arabia, Libya, /
Syria- and Iraq. He also
called for the removal if the
Syrian troops from Lebanon
and pledged full cooperation
with the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon
(UNIFIL).
Begin's remarks came
against a background of Israeli air attacks on Palestinian terrorist encampments
in Lebanon. Israeli planes
attacked terrorist concentrations at Naher el Bared
near Tripoli in NorthLeba-
nonMay 6, hit-terrorist
bases near the village - of
Rihan, 12; miles north of^he
the terrorists wherever they
are so that there is no repetition of the attacks such as at
Nahariya, where terrorists
killed four Israelis, two of
them children. "We shall hit
those murderers wherever
possible, in every place with
all our power, from the sea,
the land and the air, until
they are n»longer able to execute their murderous
plots," the Premier declared. '
Begin's proposal for a
peace treaty with Israel was
rejected by Lebanese Premier Selim al-Hoss. He said
the   Israeli   attacks   on
Lebanese territory were
blackmail. "It is out of the
question that terror' and intimidation will force Lebanon to break its ties with the
common Arab destiny," he
said in a statement carried
by Radio Beirut. Hoss also
rejected Begin's proposals
for removing Syrian troops
and resettling the Palestin"
ians. In Cairo, Boutros
Ghali, the Minister of State
for Foreign Affairs,' officially asked theU.S. to persuade Israel to stop the air
attacks on the terrorist
bases in Lebanon. The Car-

Jewish Leader Executed By Firing Squad In Iran
JERUSALEM (WNS)-Is-
raeli officials and Jewish
leaders in the United States
and elsewhere have expressed shock over the execution May 9 of Habib Elkan-
.ian, the former president of
the Iranian Jewish community and a prominent businessman by a firing squad in
Teheran. The 61-year-old industrialist was charged with
"spreading corruption" and
"treason through his connections with Israel and Zionism." Elkanian, the first
prominent Jew to be executed by the new government, was shot along with
six other "enemies" of the
regime* Rahim Ali Khor-
ram, another businessman
described as a millionaire,.
was also shot. Elkanian and
Khorram were, respectively, the only non-Moslem
and non-political persons
among the estimated 200
people executed since the
takeover of Iran by the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Jewish'sources in Teheran
said the death warrant for
Elkanian was personally approved by Khomeini as "a
warning to American and
Zionist agents in Iran." Until
now, both the Ayatollah and
the government of Premier
Mehdi Bazargen had
claimed the policy of the Islamic regime was directed
against Israeli and Zionism,
not the Jewish community
whose rights they promised
would be protected. There is ■
expected to be further efforts to emigrate by many of
the remaining 50,000 Jews in
Iran:  -
Elkanian was arrested in
March along with Ruhollah
Ray, another Iranian Jewish
businessman who was also'
the Jewish representative in
the lower house of Parliament under the Shah. Ray's
two sons were also arrested
at' the same time. Elkanian
and the other six men were
tried by an Islamic court
May 8 and executed in the
prison courtyard an hour
after the trial ended.    ,
Premier Menachem Begin
on hearing of the news condemned the execution of
Elkanian arid urged world
