...reason for the drastic move was Egypt's feeling that the Hussein proposal is virtually identical with the Allon Plan-a peace settlement put forward in 1967 by Israel's Deputy Premier Yigal Allon. Although there are major differences between the plans, both envision the creation of an autonomous Palestine federated to Jordan and the return of Jerusalem's Arab sector to Jordanian control...
Despite Egypt's angered action last week, all hope is not lost for Hussein's proposal. Washington regards it as a possible basis for further negotiations. One Israeli official who is particularly impressed by the plan is Allon, who last week told TIME Correspondent Marlin Levin that he was prepared to make further (but unspecified) "compromises" of his own proposal to speed final agreement.

The ideas of creating an autonomous Palestinian region, returning Arab Jerusalem to Jordanian control, and establishing nahal (fortified) settlements on the West Bank are also contained in the 1967 peace plan proposed by and named after Allon. The Deputy Premier, who likes Hussein's proposals, is a certain candidate for Mrs. Meir's job if the 74-year-old grandmother chooses not to run again in Israel's autumn general election...
