Last week's events strengthened both Sadat and Rabin at home. The Israeli premier solidified his support even more by asking General Ariel ("Arik") Sharon, Israel's hero of the October war, to be his personal adviser. The move guaranteed increased support for Rabin from right-wing Israelis who adore the superhawk Sharon and who have long worried that the Premier is a waffling dove. The general's charisma will also blunt the appeal of Rabin critics like former Defense Minister Moshe Dayan. Since Sharon becomes a civil servant who by law cannot openly criticize the government...

Eliav's views to a large extent are rejected by hawks like former General Ariel ("Arik") Sharon, the Israeli Patton who turned a 1973 setback in the Sinai into victory by rolling his armor across the Suez Canal. He says, "We must explain to the Arabs what is vital to us and make them an offer on a take-it-or-leave-it basis."

...arsenals, replenishing its fuel reservoirs and rebuilding its lines; at present, for instance, it has 100 more planes and 330 more tanks than it had at the start of the October war. Two of the country's most distinguished retired generals-Israel Tal, its top armor strategist, and Ariel ("Arik") Sharon, the brilliant, sharp-tongued tactician who led his division across the Suez Canal in October 1973-have returned to semiactive status. Sharon reportedly has been given a command in the "northern sector," meaning the Golan Heights, where he presumably would direct any battles against the Syrians, who according...
