NEW YORK (JTA) - Israeli and American observers offering instant analysis of the Israeli election results bemoaned the fact that neither Likud nor Labor had received a clear mandate from the electorate Tuesday, Nov. 1. Even Likud supporters appeared subdued discussing the results on a special postelection broadcast over the Council of Jewish Federation's closed-circuit satellite network Tuesday evening, just a few hours after the Israeli polls had closed. Although they felt confident that party leader Yitzhak Shamir could piece together a ruling coalition with Gerald N. Cohn Elected To National AAHA Post Gerald N. Cohn, executive vice president of Heritage Village, was elected a director on the Board of Directors of the American Association of Homes for the Agiqg (AAHA). AAHA is the national organization consisting of 3200 Protestant, Jewish, Catholic and public homes and housing facilities across the country. Conn's election to the Board of Trustees will enable Heritage Village to be- on the cutting edge of all that is occurring on the aging scene. fafiSrSaaaa^mhjrT Mllr.HMHSIM Major Gifts Dinner Features Political Analyst George Will The 1989 Jewish Community Campaign's Major Gifts Dinner, held Oct. 24 and hosted by Leslie H.

"It is a pity from our point of view that people did not give a very clear vote," Jewish Agency Treasurer Meir Sheetrit said in an interview from Tel Aviv. Once a rising star in Likud ranks, Sheetrit said that while Israelis seemed to haye shifted clearly to the right, "it may be time to act seriously to change the elections." More than a dozen Israeli and American experts were interviewed during combined broadcasts from New York and Jerusalem. They based their opinions on early projections of a virtual dead heat between Likud and LaI^^7y4^y.;,fte7.|^igious parties'holding the balance of power. The program, sponsored by a coalition of American Zionist organizations, was aired in 32 cities in the United States and Canada. For North Americans, the program offered, a rare glimpse of Israeli politics in action. Footage of both major party headquarters showed no revelry or American-style hoopla, but an atmosphere of gloom that infected panelists in both countries. In Jerusalem, none seemed as dismayed as Hirsh Goodman, the former military correspondent for the Jerusalem Post and a Gerald N.

Three Detained By Police In Istanbul For Protesting Waldheim Visit To Turkey NEW YORK (JTA) — Nazi-hunter Beate Klarsfeld, Rabbi Avraham Weiss of New York and another American were detained twice last week by Turkish police in Istanbul and reportedly beaten following their second detention, after demonstrating against visiting Austrian President Kurt Waldheim. Greek Court Overrules President On Museum ATHENS (JTA) — The High Court of Justice here has decided in favor of the Jewish community's request to change the status of the Jewish Museum in Athens from a private institution into the ward of a foundation. The decision overruled President Christos Sartzetakis of the Greek republic, who since 1986 has twice denied the request for a change. The presidential signature is required for such transformations. The court ruled that the president's position was unreasonable and groundless/The case was the first time a religious minority in Greece appealed against a presidential decision.. y ...... "■ 7, strategic fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Studies. "I'm disappointed, but I suppose we should have seen the writing on the wall," said Goodman. There exists, he said, a potential for a national consensus, but Israel "lacks the leadership able to deliver it. The future is decided by minorities," meaning the smaller parties, he said.' "'You won't fund my yeshiva, you won't give me money for another settlement, I'm leaving the government,' " he said the reli- gious parties might threaten. Goodman had scorn for two scenarios that he said could shape up in back rooms over the next few weeks. Either Shamir would head another schizophrenic unity government, or Labor would sit in opposition to a Likud government ruling,by the narrowest of margins. But the vote appeared ' decisive to one 'expert;7In New York, Yosef Qlmert, an analyst at the Shiloah Insti- tute at Tel Aviv University, said the election results are portentous for Labor. "They appear to be at the end of the road, even after making some internal changes," said Olmert, whose brother, Ehud; was re-elected to the Knesset on the Likud list. "They need an extensive soul-searching. Among Israeli Jews, a decisive majority have swung to right-wing parties." Samuel Lewis/who served as U.S. ambassador to Israel from 1977 to 1985, also believes that, based on historical precedent, an Israeli government could act decisively with only a slim majority. For Lewis, that possibility could have a significant effect on "the fundamentals of U.S.-Israeli relations." If Likud makes good on promises of using harsher measures to put down the nearly 11-month-old Palestinian uprising or pumps new life into the settlement program in the territories, said Lewis, "that sort, of policy has the potential of stirring up quite a lot of static in Jerusalem and Washington." Joining Lewis in New York was Morris Abram, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, who put a positive face on the likelihood of a Shamir government. According to Abram, Shamir has appeared willing in the past to engage in direct negotiations with Arab leaders with "no preconditions." Abram said others' fears of intransigence on Shamir's part "may prove to be a shibboleth." In Jerusalem, one expert argued that Likud may represent a modicum of continuity for the next administration. "When it comes down to it, the American government feels peacemaking depends on actions taken in other parts of the Middle East," said Eytan Gilboa, a senior research fellow, at the Leonard Davis Institute for .International Relations at Hebrew University. Another analyst-" had a good word to say about a unity government. Alan Dowty, a professor of political science at Notre Dame University, said in New York that despite its deadlock on foreign policy, t,he unity government succeeded over the last four years in stabilizing Israel's once wildly inflationary economy. But for most, another four years of "unity" seemed a disheartening proposition. Said Haim Ramon, a member of Labor's young guard interviewed in Jerusalem: "The best thing for Israel would be a government based on the present situation for the next six to 12 (CONTINUED ON PAGE 10) mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm In The Chronicle II !lii'»lt|nil Ilni»»—W lln mi Hi At TheCenter, .„,.♦,.'..* 15 At The Federation .,., 10,43 ft^ltog ,.,,„,.,.-.,»,,..;<, W Editorial Features....+.: = 2 FiftyVttmAgo,....,.:, i. s Here And There..,.,, 4-» ** TMfeorfcetPfcwsft. 4, • *h+»V'j8?1 Obituaries *.«.. < *., 7* * * 7.7W sSoelalNew,»,', .*..-., /.^| EARLY DEADLINE Deadline For Trie Thursday, Nov. 24, Issue Is Noon, Wednesday, Nov. 16 The OJC Office Will Be Closed Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 24
