Israel’s leaders hailed America's punitive air raids on Libya as an act of self-defense against interna tional terrorism but stressed re peatedly Tuesday that Israel was in no way involved and had no advance knowledge of U.S. plans. Prime Minister Shimon Peres, questioned by reporters while visit ing Nazareth, said he does not know yet what results the Ameri can action might have but “I know the reasons for it. Libya was undoubt edly behind the bombing of Amer ican soldiers at the discotheque in (West) Berlin and it doesn't sur prise me that the United States takes steps in its own self defense,” Peres said. Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin told reporters after an appearance at the Hebrew University that the U.S. action in Libya was “a deter mined and daring action against a country which took the lead in the encouragement, finance and sup port of international terrorism.” “It is clear to everybody that ter rorism can succeed only when it has the support of countries like Libya, Syria and others, and if we want to put an end to terrorism we MANISCHEWITZ WINE Muammar Qaddafi have to punish these countries and to convince them to change their way of action in this regard,” the Likud leader said. But except for Britain, Israel was alone among America’s allies in expressing unqualified support for the U.S. air strike. It was deplored even by the moderate Arab states, including Egypt which has long considered Libyan leader Muammar Qadaffi a foe. Responding to a condemnation of the air strike by Nazareth’s Communist Mayor Tewfik Zayyad, Peres asked what else did he expect the Americans to do when they had proof that Qadaffi was planning to kill more Americans, "sit back and praise the Lord?” With respect to Israel, he said, “We were not invited (to partici pate in the air strike) and we played no role in it." He warned, however, that Libyan and Palestinian terror ism would not solve anything. “The Palestinians are not our enemies and Israel is interested in solving the Palestinian problem through negotiations," he said. Rabin, too, stressed that the strike at Libya “was an American action. Israel was not involved and was not notified about it.” But, he added, “It is an attempt to deal with the sources of terrorism, not only with those who carry it out “Therefore, as a matter of prin ciple, I believe that every country that believes that something has to be done against international ter rorism, in coordination with the democratic free world, should come and say that it is a justified action,” Rabin said. He dismissed concern that a world war could evolve from the American action. The European Economic Com munity (EEC) Foreign Ministers, meeting at The Hague Monday before the U.S. launched its bombers against Libya, made clear that they favored diplomatic and political measures before resorting to force. After the raid, the Foreign Minis tries of the EEC states were either critical or non-committal. Only British Foreign Secretary Sir Geoffrey Howe maintained, in a BBC address, that the U.S. “has exercised its right of self-defense." Denis Healy, Labor’s foreign policy spokesman, accused Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of “groveling subservience” to Presi dent Reagan and warned that Bri tain would now become more of a target of Libyan terrorism than it was. The raid was also condemned by West Germany’s foreign minister, Hans-Dietrich Genscher. In the United States, Jewish organizations expressed full sup port for the air strike against Libya.
