However, ifthese things bring about peace, first of all between us and Egypt, and in the endpeace between us and our neig^bors in the east, what can be more important and of moreconcern to us?' I hope that the listeners will forgive me for appealing to the teachers. The im-possible has been achieved. Wehave gone very far to meet the teachers, let theteachers go back to the classrooms together with the students so that all will beaoyful and so that they wil be able to discuss this issue with the students and Iam sure that other details can be agreed upon later. It can be said that as far as the agreement with Egypt is concerned, in the long runthe agreement is based on the Israeli peace plan as submitted.
