...differ is on the question of what to do about the occupied territories that Israel shows less and less inclination to relinquish. One faction of the ruling Labor Party, represented by Deputy Premier Yigal Allon, argues for the establishment of paramilitary settlements in the occupied territories. Moshe Dayan favors an interlinked economy to benefit Jew and Arab. A program advocated by Gahal, a right-wing nationalist party led by Cabinet Minister Menahem Begin, is for outright annexation. Though she generally favors Allon, Mrs. Meir has publicly refused to commit herself to any of these approaches?until and unless negotiations with...

We will not once more make the mistake of depending on the U.N. for our security...
...with external anger than with internal sorrow. Only a few of Premier Levi Eshkol's closest associates knew that he had suffered a heart attack last month and offered to resign. Persuaded to stay on, he relinquished much of his detailed, day-to-day work to Deputy Premier Yigal Allon. On the day before his death, Eshkol seemed unusually ebullient for a convalescent, a fact that troubled Allon, who recalled that his own father had been in especially high spirits just before he died. Eshkol scheduled a ministerial committee meeting for the next day, but in midmorning the Voice...
