Excellent Record. After hearing that evidence, the Israeli Cabinet immediately dispatched back to Washington Ambassador Yitzhak Rabin, who had been recalled to Jerusalem only three days before. He carried in his attache case a complete set of the photographs and other evidence. The next day, Rabin personally handed the material to Assistant Secretary of State Joseph Sisco. Back in Jerusalem, Dayan put pressure on the U.S. Speaking to the Knesset, he publicly charged Egypt and Russia with the cease-fire violation. Dayan saved some of the sternest parts of his speech for the U.S. "We see the Americans as more...
Another Rogers caller was Israeli Ambassador Yitzhak Rabin, who was particularly worried that a limited ceasefire might give Egypt an opportunity to move Russian missiles up to the Suez Canal. In Tel Aviv, Foreign Minister Abba Eban expressed similar concern, arguing that a temporary cease-fire "would be a certificate for the resumption of hostilities on a fixed date.

She also said that he had "strange associations with very dubious people-a man who has underground connections, a card...
...highest for any month since 1967-43 soldiers and 18 civilians killed and 105 soldiers and 31 civilians wounded. In the kibbutzim along the northern and eastern borders, Israelis spend more and more time underground. "A couple of years ago, a shelter was where you ran to," said Yitzhak Carmel, a farmer on a settlement near Jordan. "Now it often seems to be the place you live in." At the Maoz Chaim kibbutz, 150 children have been sleeping underground for two years. Many of the shelters have become elaborate installations, complete with lights, water, chemical toilets and good ventilation...
