There was speculation that the question had been planted by supporters of Defense Minister Moshe Dayan. With key Labor Party elections set for mid-December, Dayan is locked in an increasingly bitter battle with Allon, Eban and Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir, the party's kingmaker, over who should be designated heir apparent to Mrs. Meir, 72. Dayan wants the mantle; so does Allon, an Oxford-educated Kibbutznik who was a military hero (in the 1948 War of Independence) before he shifted from the army to politics...

Dayan, who earlier had considered resigning, boycotted a meeting of Israel's Cabinet to demonstrate his anger over the missile issue. After five days of debate, the Cabinet swung behind Dayan's view that Israel's U.N. ambassador, Yosef Tekoah, who had been recalled to Jerusalem for conferences, should not return to New York to resume meetings with Jarring until the missile question was settled.
