...indefinite period of time. Israel insists on signing such an agreement for a specific period of at least three to five years. In return, Jerusalem would be willing to accept Cairo's pledge not to use force during the life of the agreement, rather than the formal declaration of nonbelligerency that Israel demanded during the unsuccessful shuttle...

Even so, he now stands in danger of being drummed out of the Cabinet by Wilson as a gesture of "evenhandedness" to the left...
