Israel is now accepting applications for return by some 100 Palestinian politicians deported since the Six-Day War. Already returned are half a dozen political celebrities from Nablus and Gaza, who had been deported in September in the wake of the plane hijackings by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Israeli authorities believe the evicted Palestinians are more eager to leave strife-torn Jordan than they are to live in the Jewish State. The Israeli decision comes concurrently with a series of New Left demonstrations at the Hebrew University here, with students demanding Palestinian “rights.”
