THE GULF WAR : Israel: Soviet Immigration
The war has drastically reduced the pace of SOVIET IMMIGRATION to Israel, with the February rate--between 180 and 370 a day--running at less than half the December figure of 1,000 a day. At that rate, the Israeli government says, 300,000 Soviet immigrants will arrive in 1991--
100,000 less than earlier projections. Many Arabs fear the influx will displace Palestinians in Israeli-occupied territories.
