NE by Yaacov Ben Yosef 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.

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.” Linda Gold stationery Service Outstanding Service & Selection A V 20% Discount 252-8006 invitations • stationery • announcements napkins • placecards • favors • embossers calligraphy • Hebrew lettering • art work Happy New Year ' I V^U —*** ^ 1111 V» 1 GREAT CHINA 3362C-Chamblee-Tucker Rd Inside 1-285 Perimeter.
