Foreign Minister Yigal Allon, after watching the debates on TV in New York, only half jested: "I don't know if Ford or Carter won. All I know is that Israel won." Despite the insistence that it has no preference in the race, the administration of Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin is believed to favor the incumbent. Familiarity is again the reason...

...Jerusalem, Foreign Minister Yigal Allon insisted that the decision to join the debate "does not mean even a hint of recognition" of the P.L.O. Nonetheless, it was a notable change in tactics for Israel, which boycotted last January's Security Council debate on Middle East problems precisely because the P.L.O. was admitted as a full participant.
