...astute coup for the Russians, in effect enabling them to leapfrog the northern-tier defense (Turkey, Iraq, Iran) just set up by the West. It promised to be an embarrassment to the West, but to neighboring Israel it threatened to be a disaster. Israel's Pre mier Moshe Sharett rushed to Paris and then to Geneva to try to get help from the Western foreign ministers. He told them that his people were so wrought up over the Egyptian deal that they were seriously thinking of launching a preventive war ("I hope to God that Israel will...
...sympathetic ear but not full satisfaction. U.S. Secretary Dulles said flatly that the West could never join in a Middle East arms race, and he warned Sharett that in such a competition, Israel, with its 1.7 million would reach its "absorption point" quicker than the Arabs, with their 50 million. In such a competition the Arabs might well find the cohesion they now lack, and might become increasingly dependent on the Russians. In this view the Big Three foreign ministers were unanimous.

...surprising tilt towards the extremists of both sides. Shock-haired Ben-Gurion, Israel's first Premier, who became a shepherd and now has returned to shep herd his people, had acted almost as if the premiership would be his by acclamation. Apparently, the present Premier, Moshe Sharett, also a member of Mapai, was all set to step aside for Ben-Gurion, who is presently Defense Minister in Sharett's Cabinet. Now, if Ben-Gurion does try to form a government, he will need all his tact (which is in short supply) even to achieve a stable governing coalition...
