...book, tentatively titled From Confrontation to Disengagement, purportedly draws on Kissinger's private conversations with newsmen and on secret minutes of his meeting with Israeli leaders. Although it was banned by censors, a revised edition was later approved. According to Golan, Kissinger criticized Israeli Foreign Minister Yigal Allon as lacking strength and imagination, called Defense Minister Shimon Peres "a pseudo hawk" who terrorized his colleagues, and dismissed Rabin as "too small a man for the job." Rabin was equally candid about Kissinger: "It isn't possible to believe a word that man is saying." Asked about Golan...
...lobby for the fullest possible U S. support at the debate, Israeli Foreign Minister Yigal Allon (see following story) flew to Washington last week for two days of talks with Kissinger and other U.S. officials. Jerusalem is distinctly nervous about the American position, even though it will be put forward by Ambassador to the U.N.

Finally, there are legitimate concerns about what is in the secret codicils to the agreement, contained in as yet unpublished letters between Kissinger and Allon and Presidents Ford and Sadat. It is known that Washington has promised, among other things, to replace Abu Rudeis oil with American supplies if alternative Middle East sources should be cut off. Kissinger denies that the guarantee is any stronger, but some observers familiar with the negotiations believe that the U.S.−at least verbally−promised also to move such oil through any Arab embargo, presumably by means of U.S. naval support...
...more significant change in the situation, however, was the shift in the U.S. role in negotiations after March. Instead of being simply a mediator, Washington became what Israeli Foreign Minister Yigal Allon last week described as "the third side of a triangle." The U.S. turned active participant, for instance, by promising aid to either side in return for compromise and by guaranteeing oil to Israel. Still undecided at week's end was whether Washington would play an even more central role. Cairo had proposed that U.S. technicians take over operation of the Israeli electronic monitoring posts above the passes...
