1. ANOTHER BURIAL TODAY
16-year old Gregory Pesikovitch, killed in Wednesday's murderous
double-bombing in the Machaneh Yehudah shuk, will be buried this afternoon
in the Christian cemetery on Mt. Zion in Jerusalem. The name of one of the
dead has still not been released, and another has not yet been identified.
A family claiming a missing relative - some of whose characteristics match
those of the unidentified body - arrived last night at the Abu Kabir
Pathological Institute, and blood samples were taken from them for genetic
testing. 46 persons wounded in the attack remain in Jerusalem hospitals.
Twelve of them are listed in serious condition, and one of them - in
Shaarei Tzedek Medical Center - has not yet been identified. The bodies of
the two terrorist-murderers have also not yet been identified.
2. THREE ARAB TERRORISTS ARRESTED IN NEW YORK
Police in New York arrested three Palestinians early yesterday morning who
had been planning to carry out a terrorist attack at a crowded subway
station. After a brief early-morning shoot-out in which two of the Arabs
were lightly wounded, the three were apprehended. A large amount of
explosives were found in their apartment. Their roommate had tipped off
police that he had heard one of them saying he would do something like the
Machaneh Yehudah bomb attack Gang-leader Razi Ibrahim abu Mizer, formerly
a resident of Ramallah, had been under Israeli arrest at one time for
involvement in a terror organization. It has also been learned that one of
the group is a resident of Hevron and a member of Hamas. The FBI has asked
Israel to help in the investigation. An official FBI statement said that
the three were planning attacks against Jewish and American targets
throughout the world.
3. PM DOES NOT EXPECT HEAVEN ON EARTH
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said last night that he does not expect a
"heavenly peace to reign in the Middle East," but that a peace based on
deterrence of terror is feasible. Speaking on Israel Television last
night, the Prime Minister said that Israel's security forces will act
against the Hamas infrastructure, and are planning to find ways to get to
the terrorists themselves. He praised the opposition and Ehud Barak for
acting responsibly and standing behind the government during this trying
period.
4. SHACHOR: TERROR NOT CONNECTED WITH PEACE TALKS
General (res.) Oren Shachor, a close associate of Shimon Peres and a top
Israeli negotiator during the previous government, rejected last night the
notion that terror attacks are a result of a freeze in the peace process.
"The terrorists commit attacks as a reaction against the talks, and when
the talks cease, they use that as an excuse for more attacks," said
Shachor. He emphasized strongly that Arafat must understand that it is in
his interest to fight against Hamas.
5. 5O ARABS SUSPECTED OF AIDING TERROR ARRESTED
In a wide-scale operation throughout Judea, Samaria, and Gaza during the
night, the IDF arrested some 50 Arabs suspected of hostile activity against
Israel. Correspondent Haggai Huberman reports that at tens of checkpoints
and temporary barricades from Jenin in northern Samaria to Har Hevron in
the south, many long-time wanted Arabs were taken in for questioning. In
careful searches of various Palestinian institutions, including mosques and
charities, large amounts of inciteful literature were found. Civil
Administration authorities are studying the material, and will decide
whether to take action against the institutions, up to and including their
closure. Israel Police has called in heavy reinforcements to patrol
beaches and other places throughout the country where crowds gather, as a
precautionary measure against further terrorist attacks.
Reacting to the arrest warrant that has been issued against him for his
involvement in the planning of terror attacks against Israeli targets,
Palestinian Authority Police Chief Ghazi Jabali said yesterday that it was
"laughable." He added that any Israeli who tries to arrest him would not
survive the attempt. Jabali further said that the Palestinians are ready
for battle if Israel attempts to enter its territory.
6. NO SCHOOL TRIPS TO NAHARAYIM
"Peace Island," on the Israeli-Jordanian border, will re-open to visitors
next week - but not to Israeli schoolchildren. Deputy Education Minister
Moshe Peled reiterated yesterday that school visits to the
Jordanian-controlled area there are strictly prohibited. The murderer of
the seven 8th-grade girls in March of this year was recently sentenced to
life imprisonment by a Jordanian court.
7. ONLY INCITEMENT WILL BE JAMMED
The security forces will not carry out the security cabinet decision to jam
all of the Voice of Palestine radio broadcasts, as it requires much prior
technical preparations. Instead, only broadcasts containing inciteful
material will be jammed. Personnel of the IDF Signal Corps have been
deployed in key positions throughout Yesha, ready to jam the broadcasts
when necessary. On Friday afternoons, the Voice of Palestine broadcasts
the weekly sermon from the Al Aksa mosque on the Temple Mount, which
usually contains severe incitement against Israel.

TODAY'S HEADLINES:
1. 13TH VICTIM BURIED
2. NETANYAHU: OSLO AGREEMENT DEPENDS ON ARAFAT
3. SHARON: PEACE WITH ARAFAT IS IMPOSSIBLE
4. AYALON MEETS WITH TIRAWI
5. PLO SPREADS FALSE STORY

8. OVER 100 ARABS ARRESTED IN ANTI-TERROR OPERATIONS
9. RABBI LAU CALLS ON CLINTON TO CALL ON MOSLEM LEADERS
10. ISRAELI-THAI TIES
1. 13TH VICTIM BURIED
Mark Rabinovitch, 80, of N'vei Yaakov, Jerusalem, is the last of the
dead in Wednesday's murderous bombing attack in Machaneh Yehuda. He
was buried this afternoon on Har Hamenuchot in the capital. The
family of the deceased had been searching for him ever since they
heard of the attack, as they knew that he had gone to the market
there, but their efforts were fruitless. He was finally found and
identified late Friday afternoon. Another victim, 16-year old Gregory
Pesikovitch, was not buried in the Christian cemetery on Mt. Zion on
Friday, as had been planned, but rather in the section on Har
Hamenuchot reserved for those whose exact religious status is listed
as "doubtful." His mother is not Jewish, although his father is
Jewish, and he had been in the midst of the process of conversion to
Judaism. The last of the unidentified wounded in the attack was
identified on Friday; he is 16-year old Sa'ad Hader, an Arab worker in
the shuk.
2. NETANYAHU: OSLO AGREEMENT DEPENDS ON ARAFAT
The government met today for its weekly meeting, which began with
security briefings from the IDF Chief of Staff, the Head of Army
Intelligence, and the head of the General Security Service. Prime
Minister Netanyahu said that the future of the Oslo agreements is in
the hands of Yasser Arafat: "If he fulfills his Oslo obligations, the
agreement will exist. If not, we will not keep ours unilaterally, and
the agreement will not be able to exist." The government has
rescinded its decision to jam the inciteful broadcasts of the Voice of
Palestine. Engineers of the Communications Ministry and the IDF
attempted over the past few days to erect a special antenna in Har
Bracha to jam the broadcasts.
3. SHARON: PEACE WITH ARAFAT IS IMPOSSIBLE
Defense Minister Yitzchak Mordechai reported at the meeting that the
Palestinian Authority has not yet begun to take genuine action against
the terror infrastructure. Foreign Minister David Levy said that the
sanctions taken recently against the PA will be in force until there
are signs that it is taking firm action against the terror network.
Minister Ariel Sharon said that attaining peace with Arafat is
impossible, and that "the Oslo agreement, as it stands now, is not
viable."
4. AYALON MEETS WITH TIRAWI
It was also reported at the government meeting that GSS head Ami
Ayalon met last night with senior PA security figures, including
Colonel Tawfiq Tirawi. An Israeli arrest order was issued against
Tirawi for his part in the murder of Arab real estate agents. Likud
MK Benny Begin said that the meeting last night with Tirawi is another
sign of the "chaos" within the decision-making circles. He accused
the Netanyahu government of "closing its eyes" to the green light
given by Arafat to the terror organizations to commit acts of
slaughter against Israelis. Begin fears that Palestinian General
Ghazi Jabali, who activated the Palestinian police would-be terrorists
who were apprehended two weeks ago, and against whom was issued an
arrest warrant by Israel, will soon be accorded the same treatment.
Security elements have criticized the decisions of the
Netanyahu-Levy-Mordechai security cabinet. They say that the VIP
certificates of senior Palestinian Authority figures should have been
revoked, as the VIPs smuggle wanted figures and war materials in their
cars.
5. PLO SPREADS FALSE STORY
The Palestinian-spread story to the effect that Labor MK Dalia Itzik
had "revealed" that the Israeli Ministry of Health had issued 1000
permits to use untested dangerous pharmaceutical products on
Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails has been revealed as an
outright lie. MK Itzik denied any connection to the alleged story,
and Arutz-7 was able to verify that there was in fact no truth to the
report. The PLO website published an "open letter to Israeli public
opinion," in which Yasser Abed Rabbo - responsible for the Culture and
Information portfolio in the PA - called upon "all decent peace loving
people in Israel and the world" to protest the "inhumane behavior,
racism and indecency, characteristics of the Israeli official
establishment behavior," which "renders the Israeli Ministry of Health
non [sic] other than a ministry of death and annihilation."
6. POLLARD CALLS OFF VISIT
In a letter to Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Eliyahu Ben-Elissar,
Jonathan Pollard wrote that he is canceling an upcoming visit from an
Israeli Embassy official in his prison cell. Pollard is serving a
life sentence in a North Carolina prison, after having been convicted
of spying for Israel. The Embassy had arranged to visit him on August
7, which will be Pollard's 43rd birthday. He wrote, "It is not
possible for me to receive an Israeli Embassy official while the
government of Israel is engaged in stabbing me in the back." Pollard
was referring to the proposal repeatedly brought up by Justice
Minister Hanegbi to carry out a prisoner-transfer for him - a proposal
which Pollard says has no chance of succeeding and which is designed
only to "buy 3-5 years of stalling time."
7. ILLEGAL ARAB CONSTRUCTION MAKING A DIFFERENCE
The Women in Green organization has called upon Prime Minister
Netanyahu, in light of last week's murderous attack in Machaneh
Yehuda, to "withdraw his objections to the building of the housing
units on the Mount of Olives... and declare that so similarly will be
our answer to any and all future violence on the part of the PLO."
The new Israeli weekly newspaper Makor Rishon recently published
photographs showing the heavy extent of new Arab construction in areas
bordering on Jewish areas; it highlighted the area between the
Jerusalem neighborhoods of French Hill and N'vei Yaakov, as well as
the highway leading to Maaleh Adumim, as sites where largely-illegal
Arab construction has changed the face of the area.
8. OVER 100 ARABS ARRESTED IN ANTI-TERROR OPERATIONS
In the on-going wide-scale operation throughout Judea, Samaria, and
Gaza over the past few nights, the IDF has arrested over 100 Arabs
suspected of hostile activity against Israel. Correspondent Haggai
Huberman reports that at tens of checkpoints and temporary barricades
from Jenin in northern Samaria to Har Hevron in the south, many
long-time wanted Arabs were taken in for questioning. 28 Arabs were
apprehended on Wednesday night, 51 more were arrested on Thursday
night, and 37 last night. Large amounts of inciteful literature were
found in various Palestinian institutions, including mosques, printing
companies, and charities.
9. RABBI LAU CALLS ON CLINTON TO CALL ON MOSLEM LEADERS
Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau wrote a letter to U.S. President Clinton
today, in which he asked him to call upon the heads of the Islamic
sector to disassociate themselves from all "religion-sponsored" murder
and other violent activities. Rabbi Lau met today with Clinton's
special public relations advisor, to whom he transmitted the letter.
He said that he would be willing to be the first to sign a pact of
religious leaders against violence. "Arafat must not only apologize
to Netanyahu for the terror attacks, but also tell the murderers that
they will not merit Paradise but rather hell," said the Chief Rabbi.
10. ISRAELI-THAI TIES
Minister of Agriculture Rafael Eitan will conclude his official visit
to Thailand today, and will depart for Vietnam. In an agreement he
signed with his Thai counterpart, it was agreed that Israel and
Thailand will cooperate in agricultural-technological matters and
exchange of research. Topics discussed included raising and storage of
agricultural products for export, and fish-breeding in ocean waters.
