Foreign Minister Yigal Allon told the Cabinet today that the time was not ripe for Israel to come up with specific ideas on the next stage of negotiations with Egypt. Briefing the Ministers on his recent talks in Washington with President Ford, Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and other top U.S. officials, Allon said, according to reports of today’s Cabinet session, that he did not find it necessary while in Washington to discuss in detail the “territorial aspects” of a second round of talks with the Egyptians. Several Ministers who suggested that the Cabinet discuss those issues now and try to reach a decision were over-ruled by Premier Yitzhak Rabin.
