Begin Concludes Visit with Vow, Warning
WASHINGTON (JTA)—Israeli Premier Menachem Begin
ended his four-day stay in Washington April 16 with the vow
that the Jewish people will never allow Jerusalem to leave Israel's sovereignty and a warning to the nations of the free
world not to sacrifice Israel's security because of oil short- '
ages or other difficulties they may face at present.
In an emotional address to more than 1000 people jammed
into the 600-seat auditorium at the Shoreham Hotel, Begin repeated his positions on Jerusalem, Jewish settlements on the
West Bank and Israel's unqualified opposition to "self-determination" for the Palestinian Arabs which, he said, "is a
contradiction of the Camp David agreement." He likened
actions in support of self-determination to the appeasement
of Nazi demands on Czechoslovakia in 1938. \
Begin spoke at a combined meeting sponsored by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the Israel Bond Organization and the United Jewish
Appeal. He was greeted with deafening applause and
applause punctuated his hour-long speech many times. The
meeting was "described by some observers as the greatest.
pro-Israel demonstration in Washington, probably since
David Ben-Gurion's first visit here 32 years ago as Prime
Minister of Israel.*
Begin decisively ruled Out participation by the inhabitants
of East Jerusalem in the vote for the autonomous authority
'on the West Bank. "Israel is—east, west, north and south-
under one sovereignty, the sovereignty of Israel," he de- '
clared. "Jerusalem is the heart of'our people, our history,
our culture, our dreams and prayers. So it will be for all generations to come, so help us God," he said. He added that
"without any qualification, the world should know, all nations should know that this issue—Jerusalem—is ^D.C—
David's Capital." (By Joseph Polakof f.)
Weizman Calls For Early Elections
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Defense Minister Ezer Weizman
shook the political establishment last week by announcing on.
television that he favored holding early elections. He told a
panel of interviewers that early elections would help the
national morale. He acknowledged that he himself would like
to be Premier one day—"I would like to be able to implement
the things I believe in"—but said that in view of the Israeli
political' party constellation his chances were not very
realistic.
Weizman said he favored advancing the elections so that
"the nation of Israel may decide now which way it wants its
- government to go." In view of the dissatisfaction and' low
morale in the country, the elections should be held'in about
six months, he said. The minimum period under law between
the dissolution of the Knesset and the holding of elections is
100 days.
The elections, Weizman continued, would help bring about
a "public and ideological shake-up, and help pull the nation
out of the slough of despondency in which, to an extent, it
finds itself today, and to put the nation on the high road."
His answer to a question as to whether he would be prepared to serve as Defense Minister under a Labor government headed by Shimon Peres was that if he could serve the
nation in the future "in one way or another," he would do so.
"I will consider first and foremost what is good for the nation, and i will also consider what is good for me." Weizman
acknowledged that he had indeed considered resigning in the
past, but he would decide on such a watershed in his career if
and when he feels he has come to a "crossroad." (By David
Landau and Yitzhak Shargil.)
