...Israeli diplomats were recalled to Jerusalem: Yosef Yagur, the science attache at the New York consulate, and Ilan Ravid, deputy science attache in the Washington embassy. Simultaneously, the Israeli press reported that the Peres investigation had found that Pollard's secret supervisor was a top intelligence official, Rafi Eitan, who was running his own spying operation in ) Washington unbeknown to his superiors in Jerusalem. A special adviser on counterterrorism to former Prime Ministers, Eitan also held a high-level position in the Liaison Bureau for Scientific Affairs, known by its Hebrew acronym, LAKAM.

...allowed TIME to depose three low-ranking officials, but it still forbade the magazine's lawyers to talk with the most important witnesses. TIME's attorneys especially wanted to interview Major General Yehoshua Saguy, the former director of military intelligence who attended meetings with the Phalangists, and General Rafael Eitan, Sharon's chief of staff. According to the Kahan commission, Eitan had warned Sharon of the possibility of revenge at three meetings the day the massacre began.

Barr then reviewed the Kahan report in detail, citing passages that buttressed TIME's contention that Sharon had discussed revenge with the Phalangists.

...four-hour opening statement. Barr showed newspaper and magazine articles to support his claim that the Defense Minister had been severely criticized in the press before TIME'S article was published. Barr also quoted warnings about the Phalangists' violent reputation, including Israeli Lieut. General Rafael Eitan's statement to the Israeli Cabinet before the massacre that the militiamen would enter the camps and "have just one thing left to do, and that is revenge." As for the proper interpretation of the disputed paragraph, Barr said he would leave it up to the jury to determine that "TIME...
...Arafat-Hussein talks had failed. When President Reagan proposed his plan last September, Prime Minister Begin reminded the Knesset that the West Bank, which he refers to as Judea and Samaria, "will be for the Jewish people for generations upon generations." Said outgoing Israeli Chief of Staff Rafael Eitan last week: "The settlements will be established, and all the Arabs can do about it is scurry around like doped cockroaches in a bottle." Few Israeli officials would express their views so callously, but this blind determination to retain a captured territory whose population is 96% Palestinian Arab remains...
