Defense Minister Ezer Weizman told West Bank Mayors Tuesday that he would not object to their receiving funds from Arab states–provided those funds went towards “positive” municipal purposes and provided the Military Government gave its approval each time. Weizman made the point in conversations with the Mayors of Bethlehem and nearby Bet-Sahur and Bet-Jallah, during a tour of Judaea. Weizman, who is responsible for the military administration, also visited Hebron, meeting with Mayor Fahed Kawassme and with his predecessor, now old and ill, Mohammed Jaabarl.
