Another reason for delay was a running debate within Israel's Cabinet on the question of negotiations. One faction, including Eban, Deputy Premier Yigal Allon and Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir, heir apparent to Mrs. Meir (TIME, Dec. 14), favored a quick return to the Jarring talks. Another, ted by Mrs. Meir and her principal Cabinet adviser, Israel Galili, was skeptical of this approach and held out-fruitlessly-for removal of Egyptian missiles from Suez in return for Israel's reappearance.

Israeli security men maintained a lookout, and Israeli army units near by went on the alert, without being told...
...fire during one battle, and his unit was surrounded by the Israelis at Faluja. In his newly published Genesis 1948, former Foreign Correspondent Dan Kurzman records a fascinating encounter?arranged during a temporary truce?between the hard-pressed young major and Yeroham Cohen, aide to an Israeli commander named Yigal Allon, now Israel's Deputy Premier. Nasser seemed more bitter toward the British than the Israelis, telling Cohen that "they pushed us into a war we were not ready for." Then he asked: "How did you do it [get rid of the British]?
