Mayor Teddy Kollek said last night that ethnic minorities living in the city do not take full advantage of the rights offered them, such as municipal employment. He predicted that “the day will come when they will do so, when we have succeeded in creating a climate of mutual adjustment between Jew and Arab.” Kollek said that when peace is finally achieved he would like to see every Arab born in Jerusalem return to live there.
