It was one of the most paaskxiately debated Issues in the history of the State of Israel: It brought thousands bito the streets to demonstrate opposition and support: it sparked vtolent ciairiws between police and demonstrators at times: it split party ranks and In some cases brought dove and hawk down on the same side of the fence. Henry Kissinger had come and gone, an interim Sinai settlement tucked under his arm, and still the question was being hoUy discussed: did it bring the Middle East closer to peace or was It merely a stationontbewaytowar? The interim agreement provided for the further withdrawal of Israeli troops; (be establishment of a fairly broad buffer zone to be policed by UN troops with American technicians aiding In (he monitoring of troop RMvements; the evacuation by Israel of almost the entire length of the strategic Sinai passes and the Abu Rodels oilfields which provided Israel with 00 per .cent of her oil needs. In return, Egypt is understood to have agreed to a three-year duration (or the
agreement, to allow Israeli non-mllltary cargoes through the Canal and to reduce political and economic warfare Both sides agreed to resolve the Middle East conflict by peaceful means and to renounce the use of force.

The Prtme Minister got an overwhelming vote of confidence when the Party's Central Committee met before the Knesset debate. 370 voted for (be
agreement and only four against. But the four Included former Defence Minister Moshe Dayan. He argued that Israel had made concessions while the Arabs had retained the option to go to war. The Arab concession was being made only in terms of tline. The Americans were against deadlock. So was he (Dayan). But Israel had to know where the. Americans intended leading Israel In breaking the deadlock. For Israel could only see the first step of this process, at present. He was echoed in this view by several leftists in other parties, including Lyeva Eliav, a former member of Labour. Eliav felt convinced that the Government had no overall conception of Its ultimate goals. There could be phased withdrawals in return (or political concessions if from the the very start it was clear that territory would be given back only for a genuine peace.
