...ebullience, and he proposed a series of alternatives. The only one that was made public was a plan known as "working group. According to this scheme, the foreign Ministers of Egypt, Syria and Jordan would go to New York or Washington to bargain indirectly with Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan, with Vance acting as a go-between. Because the working group" would fall short of being a formal conference, the P.L.O. probably need not be included. That would neatly circumvent Israel's refusal to negotiate with the P.L.O. as well as the Arab commitment to having the P.L.O...
West Bank Arabs see the settlements as a threat-a view that Begin and his followers seem unwilling to accept. Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan even defended the communities as "constructive for peace," on the grounds that "I don't know anything more productive for peace than living together with the Arabs." Dayan conveniently overlooked the fact that the West Bank settlements are isolated from, and generally ignore, neighboring Arab villages...

Begin insists that the West Bank is negotiable, but his Likud political faction has been more amenable to Israeli settlements on that occupied Arab territory...
Chances are that Dayan, Sharon and Weizman will turn out to be less chauvinistic in their policies than expected. For one thing, observes Zeev Schiff, Ha 'aretz's military analyst, the fortunes of war have affected Israel's long mufti line. Following the spectacular victory of the Six-Day War, generals were national heroes, eagerly courted by political parties and the public alike. Israel fared less well in the October War, and generals seem to have lost some stature. Thus, even if the triumvirate were to favor some extreme military action, there is no guarantee that they...
