Shimon Pares, Israel’s former Deputy Defense Minister, criticized today the Israel Government’s “apologetic attitude” about self-defense, and said “a number of well-planned actions would stop the Syrians.”
Mr. Peres, general secretary of former Premier David Ben-Gurion’s dissident Israel Workers Party (Rafi), also told a mass meeting that the Government had erred in hoping for a positive Arab response to Israel’s announced policy of restraint in the face of repeated Syrian border attacks in the past month. He added that there was “no need for a big military campaign” like the 1956 final action, “to end Syrian aggression.”
