Alinement M4KBar.-Lev said that as far as we have learned this was dctitlessiy a greatachievement for Carter but there was also vagueness regarding Judaea, Samaria and theSinai. It seems to him that Israel has made total concessions in this connection.However, on the whole, a basis was created for the continuation of the negotiations.
MAFAM MK Mo'ir Talmi said that the agreements were an opening for a future of peacein the region, According to his assessment what is being talked about is a saparateagreement with Egypt and this will lead us to a grave decision on th' fate of the
settlennts in the Yamit region. In his judgment, an exchange of territory will solve
the problem of the Israeli settlements in the Sinai.
MK Mair Wilcnr from RAKJt, basing himself on the details, has said that no basicproblemi was solved. The only things solved perhaps were the problems of Carter,As-Sadat and Degin who are planning, in his opinion, a military alliance.
