There was an equally strong response from some Israeli politicians. Declared Minister for Economics and Planning Gad Yaacobi: "We don't need new (economic) doctrines from Washington. We don't need preaching, messages or 'talking papers.' " Peres, however, read Shultz's admonishments in a different light. "The Secretary compliments this government," he told an Israeli radio audience, "but he also gives us a statistical warning bell.
