Gloated the independent Tel Aviv daily Yediot Aharonot: "Sadat certainly learned that while he is engaged in world politics, his own house is about to fall in on him.

The Geneva conference is dead." Hatzofeh, the daily newspaper of the National Religious Party, which last week agreed to join Premier Rabin's shaky, labor-dominated coalition government, headlined: THE ARABS HAVE OPTED FOR THE SWORD.
