Another possibility was former Information Minister Aharon Yariv, who as an army general conducted the Kilometer 101 talks with Egypt that led to disengagement in the Sinai; the talks figure importantly in Golan's book. Ambassador to the U.S. Simcha Dinitz was a third suspect, since he could have provided some of the Washington tidbits in the book; Dinitz was former Premier Golda Meir's top political assistant and presumably was well briefed on even her private conversations with Kissinger.
