...other hand, Israeli Premier Menachem Begin has always insisted upon the right of Jews to live in Judea and Samaria (the biblical lands that encompassed the West Bank) and their historical obligation to settle it. On separate visits to Washington last year, Begin and Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan assured U.S. officials that there would be no new civilian settlements in the West Bank and that any new pioneers in the area would live within the confines of existing army camps...
...Sadat's visit, but Carter did send a stiff letter about Shiloh to Begin, who was said to be shocked and angered by its language. Privately, Administration officials are furious, feeling they have not been fairly treated by the Premier and his colleagues.

By calling Kamel home, the Egyptian President had transformed the area's politics again, but this time for the worse: if the talks broke off?...
...Israel occupied Arab land, including the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem, and the Palestinian people were denied the right of self-determination. "Time is of the essence," he said, "so let us invest it to the maximum and not just see it slipping through our fingers." Later that day, Dayan told a press conference that Kamel's statement was like "holding a pistol to our heads" and the Egyptian should take such statements "back to Cairo with him." Thus even before Vance and the Foreign Ministers had taken their places around a doughnut-shaped table (its hole in the center...
