of -yictpria under UIA auspices.
Despite probiems with the Palestinians and^especially Hamas, the director said he is convinced that--the peace process will go iaGead. :
He said Israel is prepared tb make major coricessipns for peace; but wiants irbn^ clad guarantees that any peace agreements will be honored — as has been the case with Egypt..
Medzini described the intifada as a fai 1 ure, although it served to emphasize that Israels battle is with the Palestinians and not necessarily with the entire Arab world.
Jordan, he suggested, is ready for a deal provided Israel can come to terms with the Palestinians on a five-year agreement on Palestinian autonomy, with Israel in charge of defence and foi-eign affairs.
Chuck Waldman, the UIA campaign chairmanfor Vancouver Island, introduced' Medzini and Orit Katzov, UIA emissary to the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver.

their catrs, but national police chief Ya-acov Terner discounted these reports.
The attack near Israeli Arab villages in the Wiadi Ara region came on Land Day, -when Israeli Arabs COnimejxvorate the ~V976 demonstrations against land confiscation in which ■ six Arabs were killed.
Arab civic figures expressed sympathy for the families of the two murdered policemen but said it was too late for then™ to call off : the Land Day events they had planned.
Investigators said they had ho positive clues as to ; the identity of the killers, though they were checking oiit reports of a white Peugeot van leaving the scene.
In graffiti scrawled on the walls in the Gaza Strip's Rafah refugee camp, the Islamic furidamenialist group Hamas claimed respon-sibility for the Had era attack.
None of the assailants in the two earlier Gaza killings have been captured either.
The murder in Gaza was apparently carried out by two workers building a new home for Yehuda Gawi in the Jewish settlement of Nisanit/ near the Erez cross- . ing into Israel proper. Gawi was knifed to death as he was supervising the construction. A day later, flower-
grower Shaya Deutsch, 39, was stabbed to death by a Palestinian Arab workman in his own greenhouse in the Kfar Yam settlement. Eye-wit riesses said Deutsch had drunk coffee with hisassai-^ lant ajid other Workers only minutes earlier. ''''
Violence also struck Jer-usaiem," when a jogger was stabbed and badly injured as he ran , on the Talpiyot Tayelet, a favorite recreational area in southern Jerusalem.
While Gaza settlers have been the leading voice of the anger and anguish that has engulfed the country, the settlers are not alone in their demands for firm action.
The attacks in Jerusalem and Hadera have drawn the entire populace into the eye of the storm, with a sense of personal insecurity pervading every sector of the Jewish population.
The Rabin government is suffering from the backlash of these attacks^ Almost nightly demonstrations outside the prime minister's home in Jerusalem and elsewhere around the country have pillofied Rabin personally and denianded his resijgnation.
Several leading Labor Party officials have accused opposition leaders of deliberately fanning and exploiting the public unrest for their party's political purposes.
Meanwhile; the opposition has been invigorated by the recent election of Knesset member Benjamin Netanyahu as the Likud's new party chairman.

These proposals were made following the multiple stabbing attack by a young Palestinian Arab inside the courtyard of a Jerusalem secondary school that left several injured, none fatally.
Rabin, in a series of public addresses, has called for a revival of the "spirit of *48," a reference to the days when the small Jewish Yishuv was pitted againstarmed attacks by Palestinians and defended itself with vigor and resoluteness.
In his TV appearance, the prime niinister vowed a "war with all our strength" against the wave of terror, saying, "Our enemies must not begin to think we are weakened."
But other public figures have voiced a certain qiieas-iness over Rabin's approach, suggesting it may be seen in some quarters as giving license to Jewish vigilantism in defiance of the law and the law-enforcement agencies of the state.
That is apparently a risk the prime minister is prepared, to take. He knows that if the deterioration in the security situation continues unchecked, his gov-ernment could be in real danger of losing the public /base of corifidence,needed to gbvern. '
In an effort to boost morale, Rabin reminded the nation that Israel has won wars in the past "not by weaponry^ but by strength of spirit."
