...would be involved in the negotiations, but it would be up to the Palestinians to designate by plebiscite their choice of a government to succeed Israeli occupation forces. The sticking point is that Israel is ready to negotiate with Hussein, but not with the P.L.O. in any way. Premier Yitzhak Rabin told Labor Party leaders in Tel Aviv last week: "There is only one meeting place for Israel and the terrorist organizations, and that is on the battlefield...

Reviewing the Israeli position in advance of Kissinger's visit, Premier Yitzhak Rabin told the Israeli Parliament that his government was carrying out "a combination of two efforts, preparation for the possibility of war and a drive toward peace."

This time the diplomatic fencing match was even more difficult than usual. Premier Yitzhak Rabin thoroughly understands all of Washington's political nuances after his recent five-year term as ambassador to the U.S. Moreover, as a former chief of staff of the Israeli army, he is professionally knowledgeable about the arms for which he deals...
