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.

...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.
