Alarmed by a resumption of terrorist raids over the Israeli border, Premier Yitzhak Rabin last week summoned a Cabinet meeting to review counterterror precautions. At the same time, the Palestine Liberation Organization, the political umbrella of the guerrilla movement, acknowledged a serious split in its ranks. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the second largest group in the P.L.O. after Fatah, withdrew from the P.L.O. executive council after bitterly attacking the moderate leadership of Yasser Arafat (see box).

...Israelis had worries of their own about Ford. Whatever the new President's inclinations, which Israelis see as pro-Israel, one aide to Premier Yitzhak Rabin fretted that "the Russians will want to test the new man, and the test could come in the Middle East." Possibly in Syria: the Soviet Union has poured in $2 billion worth of armaments in the past several months, making Syria today perhaps a greater military threat to Israel than Egypt...
