...essence of the old Arab-Jewish modus vivendi has been largely preserved in Lebanon, where the Beirut government has been relatively easy on its some 7,000 resident Jews. "We have nothing to complain about," claims the head of Beirut's Jewish community. "Why should I go to Israel?" a Jewish real estate dealer asks. "Those people in Israel are practically Socialists, you know." Morocco's 50,000 Jews get along reasonably well with the government; emigration is permitted, and persecution is all but nonexistent. Tunisia's 10,000 Jews live quietly. There are only about...
...talk of trying to buy the Jews out of captivity, similar to the effort undertaken in 1943 when Nazi Germany's concentration camps held millions of Jews, but no formal campaign is as yet under way. Ironically, nothing might so readily improve the position of the Jews in Arab lands as more secure and confident Arab regimes...
...Cabinet came to a decision with far-reaching consequences for the issues of war and-above all-peace in the tense Middle East. Ever since the Six-Day War, the single most contentious issue in the Middle East has been the future of the 26,000 square miles of Arab territory occupied by Israel.

Israel, claiming the spoils of victory, has formally annexed Jerusalem's Arab section and taken over the Golan Heights, from which Syrian...
...also establish three new towns in the occupied lands, one between Jericho and Jerusalem, another east of Hebron on the West Bank, and one at Sharm el-Sheikh, overlooking the Straits of Tiran.

Behind last week's decision was evidently a consensus that such treaties are beyond reach, and that Israel is not willing to let the Big Four powers dictate a settlement. At any rate, the Cabinet decided to act now to ensure what it perceived to be Israel...
...More Risk. The Cabinet took no decision on the future of just over 1,000,000 Arabs who inhabit the occupied territories, most of them living on the West Bank. But the new settlements and towns represent the "operative stage" of a far larger plan that encompasses these Arabs as well. That plan bears the signature of Deputy Premier Yigal Allon and dates back to the 1967 war, when he offered it as a suggestion to Premier Levi Eshkol while the guns were still firing. A month and three days after the fighting stopped, he presented his plan...
