Gush Emunim Reaction

[Excerpt] The Gush'Emunim secretariat decided tonight to make an urgent approach to the
cabinet to get it to make the settlements in Judaea and Samaria subject to Israeli law:
This came after they learned about the injunction issued by the high court of justice
ordering the security forces to stop construction work and efforts to populate the p
settlement of Bet-El.
The appeal to the high court of justice was submitted by 12 Arab inhabitants of the
adjaoent village of Al-Birah. The court ordered the defense minister, the military
governor of Judaea and Samaria and the commander of the Ramallah District to explain--
within 40 days--why the IDF soldiers should not- refrain from undertaking construction
work for settlers from Israel inside the territory of the camp.
Our correspondent says that this is the second case in the last few months in which the
high court has ordered work in the settlements halted following appeals by inhabitants
from Judaea and Samaria.
However, the Bet-El settlers managed to move into the settlements new buildings before
the- court order was issued, and today approximately 40 families reside in the area.

[Text] Correspondent Pinhas =Inbari has learned that Jordan has- not succeeded in its
efforts to recruit sufficient amounts of money from the oil countries for the benefit
of institutions in Judaea and Samaria-. _
The budget for the coming year is now being prepared in Jordan and several mayors in
Judaea and Samaria have been asked to refrain, at this stage, from submitting requests
for development projects and from visiting Amman.
Sources in East Jerusalem told our correspondent that the oil countries have apparently
notified Jordan that they .are not willing to pay twice, that is-directly to the munici-
palities and again through Amman.
