...from Israel's airports all airlines lacking sufficient anti-terrorist security measures. Jerusalem also plans to propose the creation of an international agency to exchange information on skyjacking and to agree on guidelines for the handling of terrorists if a skyjacking takes place. Warned Israeli Foreign Minister Yigal Allon last week: "The terror is not directed only against Israel. Each country can find itself in a position where a minority group starts terror operations. If we do not unite against this kind of violence, we could lose our chance to survive as human beings...
...intense secret debate had begun within Israel about whether the government should also build a separation plant to produce the fissionable material necessary for an Abomb. Ben-Gurion and Shimon Peres, then Deputy Defense Minister and currently Israel's Defense Minister, favored doing so.

Allon has on occasion indicated, and here I too become a code decipherer, that...
...aretz. The book, tentatively titled From Confrontation to Disengagement, purportedly draws on Kissinger's private conversations with newsmen and on secret minutes of his meeting with Israeli leaders. Although it was banned by censors, a revised edition was later approved. According to Golan, Kissinger criticized Israeli Foreign Minister Yigal Allon as lacking strength and imagination, called Defense Minister Shimon Peres "a pseudo hawk" who terrorized his colleagues, and dismissed Rabin as "too small a man for the job." Rabin was equally candid about Kissinger: "It isn't possible to believe a word that man is saying." Asked about...
