Israel lifts ban on Palestinians
Tens of thousands of Palestinians returned to their jobs in Israel yesterday after the army lifted a two-day-old order banning Palestinians from leaving the occupied Gaza Strip.
The army had said on Friday that the ban would remain in force indefinitely. It gave no reason for canceling the order.
The order came in response to a stabbing rampage Tuesday, in which a Gaza resident killed two Israelis and wounded 20.
But the news agency Itim reported that Maj. Gen. Matan Vilnai pressed for lifting the ban. Vilnai heads the southern command, which includes Gaza. He argued that the ban increased tensions by bottleing up the Palestinians, the report said.
Israeli reports suggested the lifting of the ban also was prompted by concern about replacing the Gaza workers, who do menial jobs at wages below those of most Israelis.
Johannesburg, S.A.
ANC official killed by grenade
An African National Congress official was killed yesterday when a grenade she was holding exploded, police said. Two other people also died, and two were injured.
Police Col. Dave Bruce said it was not known why the ANC member, Saul Tsotetsi, had a grenade in his hand. Tsotetsi was a member of the ANC's executive committee in the Black township of Evanston, south of Johannesburg.
He also headed a branch of the Communist Party and was a member of the anti-apartheid Party.
Tosetsi was in a home in the township of
Snokeng when the grenade went off, Bruce
said.
More than 10,000 Blacks have died since 1984 in political violence in Black townships.

Libya asks Arab League to oppose U.N. sanctions
CAIRO, Egypt — Arab leaders yesterday weighed a plan to reject Western-backed sanctions against Libya over the Libyan government's alleged involvement in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.
Libya, which denies involvement in the bombing, accused the West of trying to overthrow its leader, Moammar Gadhafi, and said it would ignore U.N. sanctions if they were imposed.
The Associated Press
Foreign ministers of the 21-member Arab League, meeting in emergency session at Libya's request, were considered likely to approve a draft resolution reiterating their support of Libya.
The draft measure said the league welcomed
its condemnation of terrorism and its offers to
coopership.
Britain, France and the United States have asked the U.N. Security Council to punish Libya for refusing to hand over two Libyan officials suspected in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 and four others suspected in the 1989 bombing of a French airliner. The attacks killed 441 people.
Libya has offered to try the suspects in Tripoli before an international court or in a neutral nation.
The draft Security Council resolution, expected to be imposed this week, would ban air links with Libya.
halt arms sales and urge other nations to expel most Libyan diplomats.
Al Treiki, Libya's permanent representative to the Arab league, said his country was convinced of the innocence of its citizens and accused the United States, Britain and France of trying to use the Security Council to topple Gadhafi.
"This is a political matter aimed at sparking an upheaval in Libya and destroying its regime, " Treki
Libya's foreign ministry said the country would not acknowledge the sanctions, state-owned Libyan radio reported yesterday in a broadcast monitored in Rome.
Libya seemingly was counting on support from its neighbors — some of which are stauch U.S. allies — to soften the impact of the sanctions, Gadhafi called for yesterday's Arab League meeting and last week envoys to discuss the crisis with leaders in Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
The controversy is embarrassing for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who has been trying to convince the West that Gadhafi has renounced terrorism. The United States, Germany, Greece, France and Italy have urged their citizens to leave Libya. Most of the 500 to 1,000 Americans in Libya are oil workers.
Socialists slip to right wing in France's regional elections
The Associated Press
PARIS — President Francis Mitterrand's Socialists captured less than 20 percent of the vote in regional elections yesterday as disillusioned voters shifted away from mainstream parties toward extreme-right and ecology movements, according to partial results.
Leaders of a conservative alliance gloated that it was the worst showing of a governing party since the current constitution was adopted in 1958. The alliance was the biggest winner yesterday, making it the apparent favorite in next year's parliamentary elections.
Interior Ministry figures showed that with one-fourth of the votes counted in regional assembly races across France, the Socialists had won 18.3 percent of the vote, below the 20 percent hoped for by party lead-
The results confirmed the Socialists' steep decline since the last regional vote in 1896, when they won 29 percent.
"It's a real fall," acknowledged government representative Jack Lang. Heblamed the results on a sort of erosion that he said all parties face when they have
ruled for an extensive period. The Socialists took over in 1881, and Mitterrand won a second seven-year term.
Premier Edith Cresson, whose deep unpopularity is among the reasons for the Socialist decline, immediately denied that she would resign as head of government.
The alliance of two conservative parties—the Rally for the Republic and the Union for French Democracy
But even the conservatives fell from their 39 percent tally in 1986. Coupled with the good showing by the protest parties such as the ecologists and the extremenight National Front, the election signaled frustration with traditional politics.
The pungacious Jean-Marie Le Pen speculated that his National Front could have fared better if his rallies didn't been disrupted by sometimes violent protests during the campaign.
"Confusion reigns," said conservative leader Jacques Chirac. "The French above all sanctioned the Socialist Party, which is only a shadow of itself."
The voting followed a nasty campaign that focused on personalities instead of issues and left many citizens too disgusted to vote.
