' ' Israeli Government, Opposition Unite In Opposition To U.N. Resolution In a political statement to the Knesset, the/first since the latest crisis in U.S.-Is- raeli relations erupted, Begin repeated his claim that/Israel has an undisputed L'Chayim!

Premier" Menachem Begin indicated that he accepted President Carter's explanation that United States support'for the resolution was an error due to "a failure of communications" but he urged the United States to repudiate the resolution in its entirety. Meanwhile, it was announced in Washington that a Congressional hearing will be held today to investigate the United States "foul-up" in the U.N. Ezer Weizman Clashes With Premier Begin .By Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA)-De- .fense Minister JSzer Weiz-- man clashed angrily-with Premier Menachem Begin and Cabinet hawks when he declared flatly at a Cabinet meeting last week that the Jewish .settlements on the West Bank have no security value and warned that Israel is making the world "sick and tired" by its positions on such issues as Elon Moreh. and Hebron. —The confrontation oc- . purred in the course of the* Cabinet's discussion of, Saturday's Security Council resolution condemning .Israel's settlement policies in. the occupied territories and Jerusalem. The Cabinet denounced the resolution as> ' 'repugnant" and expressed "deep resentment" toward the United States for sup- , porting it. ' Weizman said the, settlements simply are not needed for security purposes al-, though they were of national ' - value as an expression of Zionism. Later, under heavy fire from the hawkish ministers, he modified his statement by saying he was referring to settlements like Elon Moreh which had no security value rather than all settlements. Elon Moreh was or- . dered dismantled by the Supreme Court last October on ■ grounds that the government's claims ,that it was needed for security were contrary to the facts. But Weizman, long at odds . with the Cabinet majority on (CONTINUEDON PAGE li) JERUSALEM (JTA)-The government and the opposition were united in the Knesset last week in condemnation of the United Nations Security Council resolution calling for the dismantling^FVight to settle anywhere in Jewish settlements in the ''-'Eretz Israel" and thatthe occupied termcrie^ and settlements are an integral part of the State's security. He denounced the Security Council's call for dismantling Jewish neighborhoods in East Jerusalem as "barbaric." Begin disclosed that he had received" a cable from Carter explaining that the American vote had been cast in error on the assumption that a paragraph referring to Jerusalem had been deleted from the resolution. "It goes without saying that we regard the words of the American President with all due respect," Begin said. But,' he .added: "A question'must be1 asked whether this single error that Carter pointed out was theonl'y expression of animosity toward Israel and her vital interests. What about, all other paragraphs which repeatedly mention Jerusalem and contradict the Camp David accords?" Labor Party chairman Shimon Peres supported the government's sland against the American vote which, he said, went against "United States Mideast policy." He also expressed .opposition to the supply of sophisticated weaponry to the Arab states by the West, including the United States. He said this limited Israel's technological advantage over its neighbors. However, the opposition leader had strong criticism for Begin's government. "We think that it caused, in a way, a deterioration of the Israeli position in the world," he said. Referring to the controversial Hebron issue, Peres declared, "We are surely against'settling Hebron with Jews as well as other settlements in the middle of densely populated Arab areas." He said the only solution is to hold new elections.to replace the present government with one .that will adopt a clear policy. vFormer Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan, an independent MK, surprised the- Knesset with the vehemence of his attack on the government's settlement policy, especially in Hebron. -The settlement of Jews in Hebron is completely unnecessary, Dayan declared. If, indeed, the government believes the return of Jews to Hebron is sp vital, why did it wait for a Jew to be murdered there Israel Lodges Complaint with France JERUSALEM (JTA)—Israel lodged a formal protest* with France last week over President Valery Giscard d'Estaing's endorsement-of self-determination for the Palestinians.'The protest was submitted to the French Ambassador, Marc Bonnefous, by Yosef Ciechanoyer, director general of the Foreign Ministry, at a meeting here. The French envoy promised to convey it to Paris. Ciechanover told Bonnefous that the French President had, in effect, expressed support for what Israel considers an obstacle to the Mideast peace process. He said thatthe term "self-determination" was tantamount to support for a Palestinian state, a concept contrary to the Camp David accords. In a speech to the Knesset, Premier Menachem Begin indirectly criticized Giscard. Without mentioning him by name, Begin took issue with "attempts to interfere in the Middle East" and likened them to the appeasement of Nazi Germany in the 1930s which led to the destruction of Czechoslovakia. • ' ., • Israel's protest was triggered by Giscard's endorsement of Palestinian self-determination on three occasions during his tour of Persian Gulf states last week: (By.Gil Sedan.) . Standardized Hebrew Tests To Be Developed NEW YORK (JTA)—-The American Association for Jewish Education (AAJE) ipinouncedit has undertaken the development of the first standardized Hebrew language tests for Jewish day schools. Dr. Shimon Frost, AAJE acting director, said the agency has received-a $10,000-private grant to' initiate the project, "which will provide a long-needed instrumentality for helping day school educators measure both the efficacy of their Hebrew language programs and evaluate the progress of their students." Frost said the tests, to be designed for grades 3 and 6, will be<developed under the.supervision of the AAJE's National. Curriculum Research Institute (NCRI). The NCRI had for many years administered a National Testing Bureau which produced tests in a wide variety of subject areas; however, • the Bureau was'forced to cease operations in the mid-1970s because of a shortage of funding. Frost, who also serves as director of the NCRI, said a "blue ribbon committee" of prominent day school principals and teachers will be. convened to establish guidelines for' the ' project and appoint a testdeveloper. In consultation-with the. .committee, the developer will prepare preliminary tests and try them out in controlled day school settings. Frost said that following a careful evaluation of these tests, and appropriate revisions, as may be necessary, the AAJE plans to have, the final versions ready foe national dissemination before the end of this year. before initiating such a step, he asked. He charged that the government was taking' reprisal actions rather than adopting a clear policy in the occupied territories. Dayan also criticized the evacuation of the last Arab family from the Jewish quarter in East Jerusalem. Ayub Hamis Toutanji, his wife and six children, left, their home overlooking the Temple Mount last Tuesday after an unsuccessful eight- year legal battle to retain ownership of the property that has belonged td his family since 1935. The neighborhood was taken over by the government after 1967 for (CONTINUEDON PAGE 10) Earl Yaillen Named JFS Exec.
