...Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, for talks with President Mohammed Siad Barre. After more discussions with top Egyptian officials in Cairo, Henry Kissinger jetted at week's end to Jerusalem for a three-day visit that was to include a dinner given by Israel's Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir and a session with Prime Minister Menachem Begin. Next on the former Secretary of State's schedule were stopovers in Saudi Arabia, Oman and Morocco...
...intensity of the feud has few parallels in other democracies. In one corner is aggressive, right-of-center Shimon Peres, 57, the former Defense Minister who is trying to retain the Labor Party leadership he inherited in 1977. In the other is cautious, centrist, former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, 58, who was discredited by scandal 3½ years ago, but has been battling ever since to regain the leadership. Peres and Rabin have served in Cabinets together, and they even live within two blocks of each other in the same Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Aviv...
...high case of government corruption in a country that takes pride in its standards of integrity in public office.

That will clear the way for Zamir to press bribery charges against Abuhatzeira; if convicted, he could be sentenced to seven years in prison...

At stake is an impressive level of public honesty that has brought down more powerful figures than Abuhatzeira for less serious offenses. In April 1977, for example, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was forced to resign after admitting that he and his wife had had a small but illegal U.S.-dollar bank account in Washington while he served as Israel's Ambassador...
...merger last week, the Egyptians and Israelis were inching their way back toward negotiations on Palestinian autonomy. The two sides had earlier agreed to resume the talks and to hold another summit conference, probably in Washington, some time after the U.S. elections. Last week Israel's Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir flew to Alexandria to see President Anwar Sadat and discuss existing differences. The Israelis have hinted that as a good-will gesture to Egypt and the U.S., they may release some Palestinian political prisoners and Prime Minister Menachem Begin may postpone the transfer of his office to East Jerusalem...
