would be prepared to give I Egypt for 'a peace treaty, bin declared in an interview Paris daily newspaper Le
Figaro.
"It is evident that in the
case of a simple non-aggres-
sion 'agreement, the Egyp-
tians will receive much less
than what they would obtain
in the frame of a peace
treaty."
In the event of a true
peace, Israel would accept
also, "without the slightest
difficulty," releasing Abu
Rodeis, site of important oil
wells, and the strategic

According to Rabin, this
slow dismantling of the West-
ern economy is much more
efficient than a direct attack,
and the West should pause
to reflect on the conse-
quences of the present situa-
tion.
Commenting the recent
visit of French Foreign Min-
ister Jean Sauvagnargues to
Israel, Rabin declared that
the French approach to the
Middle East was out of pro-
portion with the importance
of France on the world scene.
"I am not an expert in
French foreign policy, but it
seems to me that France
can conduct a super-power

He added that it was not
possible for France, nor for
any other European country
bound by the declaration of
December 1973 to play a me-
diator role in the Middle
East, to take a clear position
in favor of the Arab camp.

Tekoah, currently on home

Privately, officials acknowl-

president of the "Oxford

gifted orator, could be the
right man for the job.

senior adviser to the foreign
ministry and head of its UN
department, has indicated
that for personal reasons he
must decline it.
Avner himself says he
knows nothing of rumors
linking his name to the post.
