Defense Minister Moshe Dayan said in the Knesset (Parliament) yesterday that the Government would consider applications for repatriation from persons expelled to Jordan for subversive activities if it thought their return would contribute to peace and relieve tension. Gen. Dayan said applicants would have to sign a commitment to refrain from illegal activities and not to disturb public order. Such a commitment had already been signed by one deportee, Miss Leikha Shehabl, of Jerusalem.
