Premier Menachem Begin’s advisor on Arab affairs, Dr. Moshe Sharon, submitted his resignation to Begin Tuesday. He told reporters he would return at once to his teaching post at the Hebrew University. Sharon said he was resigning because he believed the post was “obsolete and redundant.” The entire “Arab affairs advisor’s department” at the Premier’s office should be scrapped, he said. Instead, he had recommended a new structure in which a Cabinet Minister would be responsible for policy coordination in the Arab sector.
