...coalition. The Foreign Minister, as Dayan acidly put it, was left to handle such marginal matters as "cocktails and ceremonies." He had played a vital role in the negotiations that led to the Camp David accords last year, and he reacted angrily to being on the sidelines this time. Even if he had not resigned, Dayan would not have attended last week's meeting in London between Burg, Egyptian Premier Mustafa Khalil and U.S. Negotiator Robert Strauss, who is eager to get the autonomy talks back on track.

...decide the Palestinians' future, and neither do I want them to decide ours. They want a Palestinian state, and they absolutely don't want any Israeli ruling them; yet they do want open borders. We should start by giving a lot, by withdrawing the military administration, even though we get nothing in return. We would pull out our military forces, unless of course the P.L.O. took over and what we had planned as a peaceful region suddenly turned into a base for terrorism. Then, we would come back with a stronger force...
