Above all, Israel is worried about returning to Geneva before the time is ripe, on the ground that rising expectations followed by dramatic failure could lead to war. Although the government denies it, Israel would also like more time to create "new facts." Since the Six-Day War, the country has been establishing permanent Israeli settlements on occupied Arab land as the perimeters of a future boundary that would be permanently defensible.

The theme of the Congress-Thong Nhat (national reunification)-was symbolized by the arrival of delegates...
