...Israelis approved of the military action. Former Premier Yitzhak Rabin, who has bitterly criticized Menachem Begin's handling of the peace negotiations in the past, said he thought the government had done the only thing it could in response to the terrorist raid. Another Begin critic, former Foreign Minister Yigal Allon, concluded that the invasion took place ''at the right time, in the right place, with the right method."

"I knew I had the support of the party," said Peres, but he had to prove as much to Foreign Minister Yigal Allon, 58. That involved argument, cajolement and, in the end, tough political bargaining. Only hours before the decisive meeting of the Labor Party's central committee, Allon finally agreed not to fight Peres for the top post. Peres in turn announced that the Foreign Minister would be Labor...
