Security Issues
President
Jumayyil faces a number of problems regarding the Army
and the Phalange-dominated Lebanese Forces militia.
Army checkpoints and house-to-house searches in West
Beirut have led some Muslims to characterize the Army
as an occupation force rather than a national army.
Their concern is heightened by the lack of any attempt
to disarm East Beirut and by doubts that the President
is willing or able to subordinAte_tha_Ch=stian militias
to central government control.
Protests in Israel
Press reports from Israel indicate growing support
for an independent judicial inquiry into the circumstances
surrounding the massacre of Palestinians in West Beirut.
In addition to the massive demonstration in Tel Aviv on
Saturday, an Israeli public opinion survey shows 51 per-
cent favoring a judicial commission with subpoena powers,
while another 23 percent would accept a less powerful
investigation.
