Israel Will Keep Golan,
el Sheikh, E. Jerusalem;
to Have.- an Angry Egypt'

NEW YORK (JTA)
Defense Minister Moshe Dayan said
that even if a peace treaty was
signed with' 'Jordan, Israel should
have the right to build Jewish set-
tlements on the West Bank.
Interviewed on CBS-TV "Face
the Nation," Dayan said, "To me
the West Bank is part of the
Jewish homeland. There is no dif-
ference between Tel Aviv, Hebron
and Jericho."
In response to questions, Dayan
said that if peace is reached with
Egypt, much of the Sinai would be
returned with Israel retaining the
Sharm el-Sheikh and a coastal strip
connecting that strongpoint with
Israel proper.
For Israel's security, he added,
it is better to have an angry Egypt
and an Israel presence to protect
the waterway to Eilat
Dayan rejected a United Nations
presence at Sharm el-Sheikh to pro-
' tect the waterway, even one that
would not be withdrawn without
U.S. approval.
In response to another question,
Dayan said the Golan Heights and
East Jerusalem will be retained by

political career. Dayan often has
been mentioned as a possible suc-
cessor to Premier Golda Meir.
In the interview following one
with King, Hussein of Jordan,
Dayan revealed his personal feel-
ings on war and peace and on being
a Jew. He said that while war is
evil, "at the same time it is very
exciting as a human experience."
He . admitted, however, that
"by winning a war—and we can
win the next one—all you man-
age to do is not be killed but
you don't solve any problems."
He said he "preferred the com-
pany of soldiers to the company
of politicians."
Dayan said, "I am not a religious
man. I don't go to a synagogue and
I don't pray. I drive on Saturday.
Nevertheless, I am a good Jew. I
am very Jewish. I feel closer to the
Jews in Miami than .to any - Arab
or gentile right here."
Dayan said most Israelis -did not
consider the Suez Canal as Israel's
final boundary. "We don't want a
big Israel from Mesopotamia to
the Nile. This is nonsense," he
said. "But I think we shall have
