...Israel's first woman Premier, Mrs. Meir will, if past performance is a guide, be more decisive than her predecessor and no less unyielding on Israel's twin demands of a negotiated peace settlement with the Arabs and permanent annexation of parts of the territories occupied in the 1967 war. "I oppose anyone who speaks of morality on the territories issues," she has declared. "It is the essence of morality to ensure the survival of the Jewish people in the Jewish state...

Last week, in the last congressional elections before the 1970 presidential campaign, the Christian Democrats slipped even farther, polling less than a third of the vote.
