Resignation and court order hit Begin regime hard
Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin faced two blows as Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan resigned amid a domestic crisis and a Supreme Court ruling forcing Jews to abandon the Elon Moreh settlement near Nablus. The court deemed the land seizure illegal and gave settlers 30 days to leave, a decision shaking security arguments used to justify settlements. Dayan cited frustration over limited influence in West Bank autonomy talks, while ministers vowed no change in stance despite the upheaval. Opposition calls for new elections intensified as Parliament prepared to open the winter session and no confidence motions loomed. Weizman was recalled to bolster the government amid the turmoil.
