Chief of Staff testifies
NZPA-Reuter Jerusalem Israel's Chief of Staff, Lieutenant-General Rafael Eitan, testified behind closed doors yesterday before the judicial commission investigating the massacre of Palestinians in Beirut camps last month. The inquiry, which has been hearing witnesses in camera since last Tuesday, will hold its first open session today when the Israeli Defence Minister, Mr Ariel Sharon, will testify. The first half of the Minister’s testimony will be open to the press and public while the second part will be in closed session. The Prime Minister, Mr Menachem Begin, set up the commission after widespread public pressure for an investigation into the massacre. It is headed by Chief Justice Yitzhak Kahan, and its other members are a Supreme Court Judge, Aharon Barak, and retired Major-General Yona Efrat.
