Active Self-Defense. At Eshkol's last Cabinet meeting, the Israeli government decided on a new policy to deal with the fedayeen: "active self-defense." as Foreign Minister Abba Eban put it, or waging war directly on the commandos, without regard to their host countries. If that amounted to recognition of the commandos as an independent force, it also assured them of a more harrowing existence.
