Only a few of Premier Levi Eshkol's closest associates knew that he had suffered a heart attack last month and offered to resign. Persuaded to stay on, he relinquished much of his detailed, day-to-day work to Deputy Premier Yigal Allon. On the day before his death, Eshkol seemed unusually ebullient for a convalescent, a fact that troubled Allon, who recalled that his own father had been in especially high spirits just before he died.

That plan bears the signature of Deputy Premier Yigal Allon and dates back to the 1967 war, when he offered it as a suggestion to Premier Levi Eshkol while the guns were still firing. A month and three days after the fighting stopped, he presented his plan to the Cabinet, and has been refining it and pressing for its adoption ever since.
