The community is cordially invited. e Palestinians JERUSALEM ,.(JTA)- President Francois Mitterrand told the Knesset last week that the position of France in the Middle East is predicated on Israel's fundamental "right to live" but it is a right, he declared, which cannot be denied to the Palestinians. They cannot be expected to give up this right, he asserted. Mitterrand's address to the Knesset, the highlight of his three-day visit to Israel which began last Thursday, summarized both the ■ point of his trip here and the: course his Socialist government can be expected to follow in the Middle East. He came to Israel to end the coolness, often bordering on hostility, which had characterized Franco-Israeli relations during the administrations of Charles de Gaulle and his succesors. At the same time, he emphasized that while France does not presume to preach to the nations of the Middle East which must work out their, own solution, he believes the Palestinians must be given a homeland. Begin Offers Lengthy Response Premier Menachem Begin offered a lengthy, emotional response. There is now a "basis for hope" that under Mitterrand the strains between France and Israel would end. "But there are obstacles . . .chief among them France's support for a Palestinian state," Begin declared. He followed that statement with a bitter, scathing attack on Mitterrand's Foreign Minister, Claude Cheys- son—who is accompanying the President in Israel—for having said on recCnf visits to Arab countries that he viewed the Palestine Liberation Organization as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. The Mitterrand-Begin exchange during the packed festive special session of the Knesset echoed the differences expressed by the two leaders in their.private conversation, shortly after Mitterrand arrived in Jerusalem. Despite claims by. Israeli spokesmen that Begin's presentation of Israel's positions had left the French leader "very • impressed," informed French sources insisted that Mitterrand, in his questions and remarks during their meet ing, made clear to Begin his own belief that the autonomy proposal for the Palestinians, advanced by Israel, was "a non-starter" mainly because the West Bank and Gaza populations rejected it. . Sharp Differences No Surprise But the sharp differences between Mitterrand and his host over the Palestinian issue came as no surprise to either leader and were not allowed to mar the historic significance of the occasion. Mitterrand is the first French chief of state ever to visit Israel. Although he has been in Israel several times in the past, it was not in the capacity of President of France. He is regarded as a strong, sincere friend of the Jewish State. As he declared in his Knesset speech, "The time has come after a too-long absence" for the dialogue to be resumed at the highest levels. After a period of "alienation," the two countries "must start afresh," he said. Begin concurred, asserting that Mitterrand's visit marked an eiid to the period of "unilateral love" of France on Israel's part which was not reciprocated by Paris. Mitterand spoke to the Knesset in French, with simultaneous translation into Hebrew. To'many ob servers, his speech recalled the historic address of the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to the Knesset in November, 1977. There was an outpouring of warmth for the man coupled with deep- seated reservations over the solutions he proposed. Mitterrand insisted that the Palestinians must be entitled to decide their own fate, provided that they (CONTINUED ON PAGE 16) Kollek Raps Met Museum's Decision NEW YORK (JTA)- Mayor Teddy Kollek of Jerusalem has attacked the Metropolitan Museum of Art for its ^decision not to display an archaeological exhibit from Israel because,*accord- ing to the Met, some of the artifacts are from the West Bank and would therefore pose a security risk to the museum; Kollek cited the museum's contention that the show relied heavily on objects from the West Bank as "erroneous" and said that more than 85 percent" of the artifacts are from Israel. The artifacts, he noted, "originated in a biblical land having no relation to 20th century demarcation lines," he stated. The mayor added: "The ignoble act of the museum's submitting to political pressures diminishes the essential quality of art as a unifier of mankind." Tifereth Israel Women Finalize Plans For 'A Night To Remember' On Mar. 13 Saturday, Mar. 14 promises to be "A Night To Remember" for all those who attend the evening at Tifereth Israel Synagogue.

Army Continues To Remove Squatters TEL AVIV (JTA)—The army continued its forcible removal of illegal squatters from villages in northern Sinai last week.
