...Sadat and discuss existing differences. The Israelis have hinted that as a good-will gesture to Egypt and the U.S., they may release some Palestinian political prisoners and Prime Minister Menachem Begin may postpone the transfer of his office to East Jerusalem. Moreover, in a move supported even by hawkish Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon, the Israelis said that they would build only four more Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank-perhaps a sign that they were beginning to realize how much their settlements policy has contributed to Israel's isolation in the world...
...margin is getting narrower and narrower." The next challenge will probably come this fall, after the Knesset's summer recess. If Begin cannot return to work, the most likely candidate to replace him would be his current Foreign Minister, Yitzhak Shamir, 64, a longtime ally.

"I kind of vacillated a bit myself," he said.

The chiefs usually support a President's budget recommendations publicly, whatever their private reservations. But this time they agreed -not very reluctantly-that...
Nothing demonstrated that so much as the futility of Begin's attempts to replace Weizman in the Israeli Cabinet's second most important and sensitive post. He first asked Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir to move over to Defense. The hawkish Shamir, 64, a Polish emigrant like Begin, was Speaker of the Knesset before replacing Moshe Dayan as Foreign Minister two months ago. To replace Shamir, Begin tapped Energy Minister Yitzhak Moda'i, 55, a leader of the Liberal Party, which together with Herut forms the backbone of the Likud governing coalition. Both men abstained on the Knesset...
