France In Arms Deal With Arabs
PARIS (JTA) — France is about to deliver 20 Mirage-2000
jet combat aircraft to Abu Dhabi and is on the verge of signing a contract with Saudi Arabia for 20 or more of the highly
sophisticated supersonic planes, the State-owned news
agency Agence France Presse (AFP) reported last week. According to the report, the Saudis want the aircraft for their

producer, will pay for the Mirages with 15 million tons of oil.
Most of Abu Dhabi's oil is extracted by a French company,
Compagnie Francaise de Petroles-Total.

Second Anniversary In Its New Buildilng
The Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center recently celebrated its second anniversary in the
new building. Special activities included jewelry and art exhibits, a puppet show presented by David Solove, a mime demonstration by David Krohn, a magic show presented by Jon Zidel and folkdancing led by Marlene Robbins. Two-year-olds (top photo)
(plus a few supporting menibers), who en joyed the event, were (front row, 1. to r.) Benjamin Goldberg, Brian Kellerman, Ariel Loeb, Michael Vollman, (back row, 1. to,r.)
David Sehser, Andrew Kellerman, Brent Bortman, Brian Bortman, Noah Blank. Children are intrigued with the puppet, mime and magic performances (photo, bottom left)
and Marlene Robbins leads dancing for all ages (photo, bottom right).
He stressed that the withdrawal will be gradual and
will enable the orderly transfer of the territories evacuated by the the IDF to the
Lebanese authorities and to
the United Nations Interim
Force in Lebanon (UNrFIL)
and continuation of the negotiations with the Lebanese
government.
The role of UNIFIL however is problematic. Israel
wants the international
peacekeeping force to take,
over  security  responsibil
ities in the area of south
Lebanon from which the IDF
will depart in the first stage
of the withdrawal operation.
But United Nations Undersecretary General Brian
Urquhart told Defense
Minister Yitzhak Rabin at a
meeting in Tel Aviv that
such a commitment was be-:
yond UNIFIL's mandate and
that he would have to refer
the matter back to UN headquarters in New York.
Rabin disclosed, at a meeting with Israel Bond leaders

Latin America in Tel Aviv
recently, that he had informed the UN diplomat that
if there is a bloodbath between rival factions in Lebanon after the IDF departs,
the Lebanese government
would be directly responsible and the UN itself would
bear indirect responsibility.
"I made it clear to
(Urquhart) that if there is
negative Lebanese.response
(to Israel's proposals for the
deployment of UNIFIL) we
are going to leave the area
... Israel is not going to be
the policeman of Lebanon. It
