Francoise Mitterand, the French Socialist Party leader, left Israel Sunday morning after a four-day visit. He praised the “Allon plan” for a peace settlement between Israel and Jordan and said he regarded the plan as a solution that can be accepted by both aides. The plan, attributed to Deputy Premier and Minister of Education Yigal Allon, calls for a continued Israeli military presence along the Jordan River but no annexation by Israel of the West Bank. Mitterand said he was now convinced that the pre-June 1967 borders of Israel were not defensible.
