Ailing Prime Minister Menachem Begin, who said that he and Dayan "parted in friendship and warmth," planned to take over the Foreign Ministry himself, at least for the time being. (A logical replacement, Deputy Prime Minister Yigael Yadin, is in the hospital after suffering a heart attack.) But Dayan's departure is a sharp blow to the whole political future of the Begin regime. Opposition Leader Shimon Peres immediately called for Begin himself to resign and hold new elections. Although Begin is highly unlikely to take that course, his position is seriously weakened. Not only does Dayan have...
Begin seems less and less in control of his fractious ministers. At the Cabinet meeting that led to the bitter exchange between Yadin and Sharon, the Premier admitted that he had not read the minutes of the committee report on the settlements, despite the fact that they had been sent to his home.

...story; some even claimed that Sharon, as chairman of the ministerial settlement committee, had made the decision on his own. This enraged Sharon, who told the Cabinet defiantly: "I will not let you hide behind my back." To avoid an open fight, the government lamely admitted the truth, and Yadin then scheduled the Cabinet meeting to decide on further action. It was at this point that Dayan telephoned the vacationing Premier for instructions. Begin flatly told his Foreign Minister that he wanted the Cabinet to halt the plan for the time being...
