...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. Speaking last week at the tenth anniversary of the settlement of Merom Golan on the Golan Heights, Sharon elaborated on that theme, declaring that...

In Tel Aviv, a crowd of 1,000 that included families of the Munich victims hurled rotten eggs at the French embassy.

Last Thursday's vote, however, apparently convinced Israeli hard-liners -and Premier Rabin as well-that no such compromise is possible. In an interview with the daily Ma 'ariv, the Premier insisted that "there will not be a third state between Israel and Jordan. The solution to the Palestinian problem must be within the framework of our relations with Jordan"-a proposal that is almost as unacceptable to King Hussein as it is to Arafat. Then Rabin added gloomily, "We may have to go decades without getting peace...
