...another turn or two on Israeli Premier Menachem Begin. Following a series of U.S. protests against new Israeli settlements in the West Bank and other occupied territories, the statement appeared to presage an ultimate confrontation between Jerusalem and Washington. The Administration is perplexed by seeming discrepancies between Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon's disclosures about secret new settlements in the West Bank (TIME, Sept. 12) and Dayan's patent denials to U.S. Ambassador to Israel Samuel Lewis that there is any change in Israeli policy. Said one Washington official in exasperation: "There is at least the appearance of duplicity...
Carter's diplomatic problem will not be made easier by a surprise plan drawn up by Israeli Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon, who has a reputation as a superhawk, for establishing massive new settlements on the West Bank. The plan, details of which were leaked last week to the daily Ma'ariv, calls for 30 new settlements and three urban centers in the western half of the occupied territory, cutting off the main Arab population centers from Israel.

...Likud's occupation policies-and the shape of the new government itself-awaits the lengthy consultations that will start this week when Begin formally accepts President Ephraim Katzir's invitation to form a new government. Begin picked up more political support last week: retired Major General Ariel Sharon, a hard-line nationalist, announced that the two Knesset members of his Shlomzion party would support the new government...
