...lobby for the fullest possible U S. support at the debate, Israeli Foreign Minister Yigal Allon (see following story) flew to Washington last week for two days of talks with Kissinger and other U.S. officials. Jerusalem is distinctly nervous about the American position, even though it will be put forward by Ambassador to the U.N. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who pleased the Israelis with his stinging attack on the General Assembly resolution equating Zionism with racism.

Israel's Foreign Minister Yigal Allon spent two days in Washington last week coordinating strategy for the United Nations Security Council debate on the Middle East with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

Former Defense Minister Moshe Dayan was in New York City; so was Chaim Herzog, Israel's Ambassador-designate to the U.N. Foreign Minister Yigal Allon had been in the U.S. and gone already, as had his predecessor Abba Eban and Itzhak Navon, chairman of the Knesset's committee on foreign affairs and security. Minister of Transport Gad Yaacobi and Minister of Justice Haim Zadok flew in at week's end, while Teddy Kollek, the mayor of Jerusalem, and Supreme Court Justice Haim Conn were packing their bags. Small wonder if Premier Yitzhak Rabin felt lonely in Jerusalem...
