Bar-Siman-Tov found that Begin did not hold any consultations regarding the peace plan, and except for Dayan and Attorney General Barak, only Begin’s closest aides knew the details. According to Katz, Weizman was not consulted because Begin did not want him to pass the information to Chief of Staff Gur, who would have pressed his views regarding Israel’s minimal security needs (Bar-Siman-Tov, Israel and the Peace Process, 62; Katz, Hollow Peace, 199). Begin ignored all peace plans prepared by the military establishment, some of which Weizman presented to him on December 9, 1977 (Bar-Siman-Tov, Israel and the Peace Process, 62).
