WASHINGTON (WNS)-
JThe United States and Israel
have publicly clashed over
the Israeli Cabinet's decision
to approve a new Jewish
settlement near Nablus on
the West Bank. State Department spokesman Hodding
Carter said June 4 that the
U.S. "deeply regrets" the Israeli decision. "The point
most disturbing," Carter
said is that the "establishment of new settlements is
harmful to the peace process." He added "it is particularly regrettable at this'
time with negotiations just
beginning" among the U.S.,
Israel and Egypt "to establish a new relationship" for
the- West Bank and Gaza
Strip. Carter said the decision "is bound to have a
negative effect on the participants:" But, Carter said,
the U.S* would not take any
steps to' prevent future settlements "other than diplomatic steps between
friends.""
But   in   addressing   the
Herut party ■ convention in
. Jerusalem June 4 Israeli
- Premier- Meriachem Begin
defended the Jewish settlements on the West Bank as a
MarirrEbner as winflerof>tlieY-"right:" He declared to the

lighted by the presentation

Memorial Award for the
BBG of the year to Robyn
Bogante and Debbie Roth,
and the presentation of the

Herut delegates that "settlement is a right and a duty.
We have and will continue to
fulfill that right and duty."
Referring to wajrnings that
Israel's settlement policies
will undermine Egyptian
states-, Begin said, "we do
not need any one to preach to
us about that delicate position of President Sadat vis-avis the'Arab world. We certainly appreciate his courage and are ready to help
him as much as we can, as I
am sure, he is ready to help
us. But no one has yet helped
his friends by commiting suicide and this we will not do."

NEW YORK (WNS)-The
Anti-Defamation League of
B'nai B'rith has accused the
Carter- Administration of
trying to soften its stand
against dealing with the
Palestine Liberation Organization. Maxwell E. Green-_
berg, ADL chairman, and
Nathan Perlmutter, direc-v
tor, were reactingto a reply
they received from State Department spokesman Hodding Carter on the ADL's
complaint that a visa had
been issued earlier this year
to Shafik Al-Hout, a PLO
spokesman. Carter said that
.while the PLO is a "proscribed" organization, a visa'
was given to Al-Hout be-'
cause he is considered a
"moderate." In a letter to
Carter, the two ADL officials
said that his use qf the term
"moderate'-' suggests tbe,
ludicrous classification- of,
'moderate terrorists.' Al- -
Hout-has never spoken out
against the ongoing PLO
policy of killing innocents."
The ADL leaders said that
by giving the PLO leader a
platform the U.S. was conveying a message "that our
policy is not firm." They
urged -continuation of an
"uncompromising American
policy toward the PLq" because its position makes it
unsuitable for negotiations.

Center on Tues., June 19, between 12 noon and 6 p!m. and'
be a "giver." What^ou get is
a wonderful sense bf-participation and - the knowledge.
that you're a "life-saver." -
Defense Minister Ezer
Weizman, who addressed the
convention after it had'
moved to Tel Aviv, said he
favored settlements in all
parts of the Gaza Strip and
the West Bank "to live up to
Zionist ideals," not just for
security reasons. Weizman
said that although he opposed expropriation of the
privately-owned Arab land
for settlement purposes he
would carry out the decision
of the Cabinet. Weizman said
it was the United States that
was causing the most'diffi-
cult problem in the autonomy negotiations. "I often tell
my American friends that
while Sadat agreed to recognize Israel and we agreed to
make considerable territorial compromises, the
Americans are still talking
about the 1967 frontiers with
minor adjustments, just (as
they did years ago, as if
nothing new had happened,''
Weizman declared.'
Meanwhile, Ivan Novick,
president of the Zionist
Organization of America,
criticized the Carter Administration June 6 for expressing concern for the new
settlement and suggesting
haw Sadat will react to it. "It
is my impression that Mr.
Sadat is not bashful,"
Novick told a press conference. He said if the Egyptian
President feels the settlements harm the peace process, "Let it come from him
and- riot through over-anxious statements by the State
Department." Novick urged
the  Carter  Administration
