Special to The Southern Israelite
JERUSALEM—The weekend
killing of an Israeli in the Gaza
Strip led to new anti-Arab fury this
week, marring a ceremony in Ash-
kelon Monday in honor of King
Mohammed V of Morocco.
The murdered Israeli came from
Ashkelon, a town with a large
population of Moroccan-born resi
dents.
The strange conjunction of
events began Saturday when a 35-
year-old man, Haim Azran, was
stabbed to death while buying
grapes in an alley off the main
street of Gaza. Azran was the father
of four boys.
A long-planned ceremony was
held two days later where a main
intersection was dedicated to the
Arab leader, the father of Moroc
co’s King Hassan. When Prime
Minister Shimon Peres addressed
the crowd, demonstrators, appar
ently organized by Rabbi Meir
Kahane’s Kach party, drowned out
his words with boos.
Speaking loudly to be heard
above the shouts, Peres said, “The
same dagger that murdered Haim
Azran, the daggar of the PLO, also
attempted to strike in Morocco”—
that was a reference to the arrest in
Morocco two weeks ago of a ter
rorist unit. “We will not let the PLO
in Gaza or Morocco murder the
hopes of peace.”
Police labored hard to keep hun
dreds of demonstrators from reach
ing the invited guests, among whom
were the heads of Arab local coun
cils in the Gaza Strip. The council

heads were escorted in close for
mation by police.
Some of the anger among resi
dents was aimed at Ashkelon Mayor
Eli Dayan who, it was assumed,
had ordered the funeral of the
murdered Azran put off until after
the dedication ceremony. Dayan
said later that a court-ordered au
topsy had in fact been the main
cause for the postponement.
With Ashkelon in turmoil over
those events, Israeli authorities went
ahead and allowed Arab mayors to
take over municipal affairs in
Hebron, Ramallah.^and
Monday from military government
officials. The move was interpreted
as a step to promote closer ties
between the West Bank and Jor
dan—in effect, reducing the power
of the PLO among West Bankers.
It has taken nearly a year of
negotiations before the appoint
ments of Khalil Musa Khlil of
Ramallah, Dr. Abdel Majid a-Zir
of Hebron and Hassan a-Tawil of
el-Bireh were announced Monday.
Some candidates withdrew from
consideration during that time after
the assassination last March of
Zalar al-Masri, soon after he was
appointed mayor of Nablus, larg
est town on the West Bank.
These appointments come on
the heels of fresh Jordanian-Israeli
cooperation on the planned reop
ening of a Jordanian-based bank
in the West Bank. It has been
closed since the 1967 Six-Day War.
While Civil Administration chief
Ephraim Sneh said there was no
connection between the mayors’
appointments and the bank, it was
clear that the Israeli strategy to iso
late the PLO on the West Bank was
beginning to take shape. Sneh said
the appointments of the mayors
was “an initiative from the people,
with no political connotations."
They were not an attempt to create
an alternative leadership. But, in
fact, they seemed to be just that.
Finally, Israel was rocked by the
report in a British newspaper that
the Jewish state has manufactured
five neutron bombs. According to
the Sunday Mirror of London,
Mordechai Vananu, an Israeli nu
clear technician who had been fired,
'had made the dawn,denied Mon-,
day by Communications Minister
Amnon Rubinstein.
The minister, who apparently
was speaking on behalf of the
government, offered his remarks
after the weekly Sunday Cabinet
meeting. ~-
“This leak,” said Rubenstein,'
“was perpetrated by somebody who
has an ax to grind. He was fired.
He was dismissed on grounds which
don’t lend credibility to his words.”
