Sharon, Mass. 11 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild Navon Warned Reagan of Egypt's Intransigence Continued from Page 1 accepted Israel's right to exist, Navon replied that he does not accept the premise. He said the right to exist "we got from the Almighty God. I don't need the permission from the PLO that I have the right to exist." He noted that the PLO covenant calls for the destruction of Israel. If they would change that clause, the questioner would then have to "ask the (Israeli) Ambassador what will happen" because it is the Ambassador, not Navon, who speaks for the Israeli government. Asked about his own future, Navon said he would make an announcement in Israel in February. He said he had three choices: to seek a second term as President from the Knesset; to return to politics; or to retire into private life to write the many books he has planned. ON ANOTHER issue, Navon denied that Israel's soul had changed during the "Peace for Galilee" operation. He said Israel's high moral calibre could not be shown on television as was the destruction caused by war. Navon, a Sephardic Jew, said he believed the differences between Israel's Sephardic and Ashkenazic population would disappear over the next 30 years, principally because of inter- marriage, education and the army. When a reporter proposed a cross country ski tournament between Israel, Syria and Leba- non as a way to promote peace, "a sort of slalom for shalom," Navon replied, "If you promise me snow, I go." In an interview with ABC-TV "Good Morning America" pro- gram, Navon said the U.S. could encourage President Amin Gemayel of Lebanon to resist Arab pressure and agree to peaceful co-existence with Israel. "I wish the United States would encourage him to the extent they find feasible. Navon said. HE NOTED that Israel seeks two objectives in its talks with Lebanon: security arrangement and some form of "civilian co- existence." He said Israel had already dropped demands for a peace treaty. But we want to know that we are living with that neighbor peacefully and there should be some way of co-existence." However, Navon added, "There are elements in the Arab world who do not encourage Gemayel to have these relations." Dr. Richard B.
