Looking confident and relaxed, Sadat inspected an Israeli honor guard and shook hands with an astonishing array of Israeli dignitaries. Among those on the receiving line: former Premiers Yitzhak Rabin and Golda Meir. Sadat greeted her with delight: "Madame, I have waited a long time to meet you." He smiled broadly when introduced to Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan?Israel's great hero of the 1967 Six-Day War?and was particularly eager to meet Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon, who commanded Israel's Sinai forces in the 1973 October War. "I planned to catch you across the canal," said Sadat...
...until the 1981 elections. Ironically, one provision of the Likud economic plan might have changed the results of the election that brought Begin to power: the legalization of foreign bank accounts for Israeli citizens. The most prominent violators of the old law banning such accounts were former Labor Premier Yitzhak Rabin and his wife Leah. They admitted keeping $20,000 in Washington, D.C., banks, thus causing Rabin's resignation and contributing to the Likud victory...

The gist of the message, as conveyed by Hassan...
Dayan considered Hassan's message so important that he returned to Israel-to Premier Begin's surprise-for discussions and perhaps fresh instructions. The Foreign Minister spent 80 minutes with Begin and three top aides: Major General Yitzhak Hoki, head of Mossad (Israel's equivalent of the CIA), Brigadier General Ephraim Poran, Begin's intelligence adviser, and Eliahu Ben-Eliassar, director-general of the Premier's office. Dayan discussed the need for alternative diplomatic approaches in case of a Geneva conference impasse. He also urged Begin to tone down all talk of new settlements, including...
Moreover, Israeli citizens and their leaders are growing increasingly militant as they read Arab statements that seem to them intransigent. Aharon Yariv, the dovish former Information Minister in Yitzhak Rabin's last Labor government, warned last week that if U.S. peace efforts fail, "war becomes a definite possibility." Returning from a state visit to Rumania, Premier Begin defiantly noted that his government includes three generals who led Israeli armies to victory in previous wars. Said he: "We shall be ready to defend ourselves...
