According to unofficial reports from several capitals, a 90-day cease-fire in the Suez of the cease-fire would be given the seal of legality in advance,” she said. Mrs. Meir declared that what Israel wanted was a general cease-fire with no time limts to serve as a stage in the transition from war to peace. Meanwhile, as long as the present circum stances persist, Israel will con- Canal zone is the first phase'' tinue to employ its present Of the plan that Secretary of State William P. Rogers has proposed to Israel and the Arab states. Mrs. Meir said she could not disclose the contents of the Rogers proposals because the U. S. government did not desire their publication at this time. She referred to the temporary cease-fire offered by President Gamal Abdel Nasser, of Egypt, in a television interview broad cast in the U. S. two weeks ago. She claimed that a cease-fire of limited duration would only serve Nasser’s was- alms by giving him an interval to strengthen Egyptian fortifica tions in the canal zone and es pecially to install Soviet SAM-3 anti-aircraft missiles along the waterway. “Were his (Nasser’s) proposals acccepted, the resump tion of shooting after expiration methods of self defense. “We will not desist from our efforts to prevent the installation of missile systems in the canal zone,” she said. Mrs. Meir’s statement non-commital as it was on the Rogers proposals, was approved by an 88-5 vote in the Knesset. Only the two Commmunist factions and the leftist Haolam Hazeh voted against the government. Israel’s full reply to the Rogers plan is expected to be conveyed to Washington by Ambassa dor Yitzhak Rabin when he returns to his post in two or three days. Gen. Rabin was called home for consultations last week. Mrs. Meir spoke as President Nasser arrived in Moscow on his sec ond visit this year to the Soviet capital,, presumably to discuss the U. S. peace initiative with Kremlin leaders. The Israeli Premier charged in her Knesset speech that Soviet operational involvement in the Middle East has “breahed new life into ag gression there.” She said there were no signs that any of the Arab states were prepared to make peace.* “Israel’s policy” she said, “is founded on constant striving for peace with each and every one of the neighboring Arab states. Hence we follow and study closely every manifestation of readiness for peace by the fac tions directly involved in this terrible dispute.” Israel, Mrs. Meir said, “welcomes any sin cere move which tries to influ ence the countries of the area to turn their faces toward peace, to stop the shooting and start talking,” as Secretary Rogers has said, but there is no sign that any of the Arabs want to do this. Mrs. Meir accused the Arab leaders of “duplicity." She claimed that “they put on the disguise of peacemongers when in front of the television cameras but tell the truth when when they speak to their own people and give orders to their —turn to page 5 NEW YORK (JTA)— Fifteen of Panama’s most prominent in tellectuals and political person alities, including two ex-Presi- dents of the Republic, have sign ed a declaration condemning the treatment of Jews by the Soviet Union and by “some countries of Eastern Europe.” The decla ration stated, “We must declare our solidarity with the Jewish population in the territories of the Soviet Union and of some countries of Eastern Europe, as well as our repudiation of the conditions of spiritual and moral violence to which these people are systematically subjected.” Noting that the Jews are hinder ed from practicing their religion, from emigrating to Israel, and confronted with countless mani festations of hostility an the part of the public authorities, the declaration warned they may well fall victim to the intention to destroy the existence of their historical, moral and cultural personality.
