...across the field. Although they have been disowned and denounced by all established Palestinian organizations, they are probably part of an autonomous offshoot of the fedayeen movement. In the past, Libya has dealt leniently with Palestinian terrorists; this time may be different. Even in what Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban calls the "pathological capital of the world," this skyjacking may be too much to stomach...

...most Israelis, the parade was a thoroughly satisfying-and justified-demonstration of their nation's sophisticated war machinery. Not everyone, though, was all that happy about it. Dayan and Foreign Minister Abba Eban initially opposed the idea of a military parade during the celebrations. Dayan argued that it was a needless expenditure of $6,000,000.

What was at stake, said Eban last week, was "the integrity of assurances" given repeatedly by the French. Israel clearly hopes that France can be forced to put pressure on Libya to halt any transfer of planes to Egypt -thereby embarrassing Paris' relations with the Arab states. The Israelis believe that their relations with the Common Market nations have been adversely affected by France's strongly pro-Arab policies. Thus they would dearly love to discredit the French just before a new round of Common Market discussions on EEC relations with Israel begins...
