Our opposition leaders are not in an enviable position right now—neither on the left nor on the right. Last night the prime minister spoke in Tel Aviv, and who among our greatest “maximalists” would not sign their name, with both hands, to the text of his proud speech, full of self-confidence and dignity? “In order to reach the Negev”—said Ben-Gurion—“we no longer need the help of the United Nations or the mercy of the Egyptians. . . . Now the Egyptians need our mercy.” Indeed, it is very hard to criticize or have a dispute along party lines with the minister of defense and the coalition government—against the background of such a formulation of our political and military situation, when in their heart of hearts the opposition members are also full of gratitude toward the government for bringing us such glorious achievements. The Israeli army has cleared the path to the Negev for us. The government of Israel has cleared the path to elections for itself.140
