Sinai settlers preparing to leave to achieve peace
SHARM EL SHEIK, Occupied Sinai (AP) -Yaacov Bar-Levry came to the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula to get away from it all, but the Camp David accords mean he probably will have to leave his sun-baked uptica for the sake of peace.
Bar-Levy, a 31-year-old mechanical engineer, is one of many Israelis whose life on occupied Arab land may be disrupted because of Middle East peace agreements signed by Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat at ofer
Bar-Levy didn't move to Sharm El Sheik with any political aims.
"ISAW no way I could waste my energy in the city, rushing to the office, waiting for stoplights, running after all the exhibitionism of clothing, furniture and other material things," he said.
So in 1976 he gave up his job in Haifa and brought his wife, Zavit, to the settlement of Ophira where it's summer most of the year and temperatures top 110 degrees.
The Bar-Levy run a youth hostel that serves thousands of diving enthusiasts that come to Sharm El Sheik for the underwater dives.
wonderdidn't think it was to us that we couldn't stay here forever," he said. "But one thing if we reached the conclusion ourselves and another if the government comes and tells us to leave. But of course it's a positive thing, for peace. There's no question that we'd leave."
"FOR AN Israeli no peace means war, and war means death.
We've had too much of that already."
The Ophiura settlement, with a population of 300 families, was started six years ago to house military personnel. But investors also wanted to capitalize on the tourist potential of the area. The town is 145 miles south of the Israeli port city of Eilat and too far away to receive Israeli television broadcasts. Newspapers arrive a day late and water is piped in from 50 miles away.
*WHEN YOU first come here you think this is the end of the world,* *that will happen* —but after you're here awhile you see how
Moshav Nevat, about halfway between Eilat and Sharm El Sheik, is another budding resort that attracts thousands of Israeli and European tourists seeking the sun and the coral-lined beaches along the Gulf of Acaba.
"I think it wouldn't be a tragedy if Sadat would agree to allow a settlement like this to remain," said Avishali Kafki, 28, who runs the sailing club at Neviot. "We don't harm anyone. We've created a beautiful place here that contributes to all."
be on the front lawn. The farmers among the 40 Nevot families grow melons and fruit. For only four months ago the settlers opened a guest house with 100 rooms. "It's a real shame that just now we're entering a real development stage we'll have to stop," said Kafkafli. "I think we have to give the Arabs their honor, but at the same time I don't think we have to fold up completely."

Knesset endorses accords after 17 hours of debate
JERUSALEM (AP) - The Israeli parliament voted by a 2-1 margin early today to endorse the Camp David Mideast accords and remove the Jewish settlements in the Sinai peninsula. Its vote opens the way to a peace treaty with Egypt.
Prime Minister Menachem Begin, whose speech closed out more than 17 hours of debate, said before the vote: "I call on this government, without any difference in party, to unite."
Moshe Shamir, a member of the Parliament, accused Begin of collapsing under pressure from Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. He believes in you and I don't trust your policies."
Shamir said the Camp David accords
counterfeit "counterfeit peace built on
Israeli surrender."

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate handed President Jimmy Carter the first major victory for his energy program in more than a year yesterday, approving 57-4 a compromise bill to lift federal price controls from natural gas by 1985.
The legislation, which the White House has depicted as the most important remaining part of the energy plan, now goes to the House. A battle also is expected there but supporters of the measure appear to have the upper hand.
831 MASSACHUSETTS
House leaders hope to combine the gas-pricing bill with a number of other, less controversial parts of Carter's energy plan and pass the entire package just before the scheduled mid-October congressional adjournment.
GEORGE H. Lawrence, president of the American Gas Association, said the Senate calls "it one more important step toward
adopting a national energy policy which will provide U.S. consumers with sufficient supplies of gas energy."
BUT JAMES E. Flug, director of the Energy Action Educational Foundation, said in a statement, "If this monstrosity ever becomes law it will be a disaster."
Carter asked Congress in April 1977 to join him in declaring "the moral equivalent of war" on the energy crisis by approving a package designed to conserve scarce fuels by making them more expensive and taxing their inefficient use.
SENATE PASSAGE of the gas-pricing bill followed an intensive White House lobbying effort Administration officials (the House) to pursue policy and stability of the dollar.
(Every year) Supporters said the measure would allow enough new gas to be reduced to reduce oil imports by about 1.5 million barrels a
day by 1985. This would go a long way toward meeting the reduction of two million barrels a day Carter vowed at last July's economic summit in Bonn.
However, opponents of the compromise, made up of a coalition of liberals who conservatives and those who complained it doesn't deregulate quickly enough, claimed the measure would not have any appreciable impact on either gas production or oil imports.
Congressional economists estimate the proposal will cost consumers who heat with gas about $16 billion in higher gas bills through 1985.
Supporters claim the measure will add $3 a year to the average family's heating bill. Liberal opponents argue that additional cost will be $10 or more a year.
