PPROVED FOR RELEASE CIA HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS-DIVISION AR 70-14 13NOV201 (Answer] I do not know for sure what was decided. However, if it was correctly reported that Jewish settlement in Judaea and Samaria will be forbidden--it is very hard for me to put up with this. [Question] Despite the fact that the prime minister, who is known for his loyalty to Judaea and Samaria, and Mr Weinman and Mr Dayan supported this? [Answer] I mention this again. I want to know what is the degreeof involvement of the Americans in this decision. I want to hear about this and only then will I be able to say clear things to you. - [Question] In other words, you believethat the three personages representing us at Camp David could not face and hold out against the U.S. pressure? [Answer] It may be that."they'reached the. conclusion [words indistinct] that the U.S. involvement was massive and things were put in such a way that we will all have to discuss things anew. However, I want first to know what was said there. [Question] Do you then believe that the price that was paid was too high? [Answer] Yes, very high. [Question) Mr Horowitz, .do you not rely on the leading triumvirate that was at Camp David?. - - [Answer] I thought and still think that this is the best delegation the Israeli Government had for these difficult and complicated negotiations. Nonetheless, I reserve the right for myself to notify you only after hearing the details. I, as .I have said--it is hard for me to accept the removal of the settlements from the Sinai and even more so to accept that Jews will not be able to settle in Judaea and Samaria. [Question] You are known as one of Dayan's confidants and friends. Moshe Dayan upheld . this agreement. This morning he said on the radio that it is for this in fact, in order to reach this agreement, that he joined the present government. [Answer) I 'Joined this government not for this reason. I wanted peace but I imagined peace with different conditions. With all my appreciation of Moshe Dayan, i do not always accept his positions. [end recording - ei mn n rviewed ' .

[begin videotape] -- [Question] Mr Defense Minister, what- does this day mean to you? [Answer] I have had many great days in my life: days of war; days'of successes; days 'of 'failures. I think this day is the.beginning of something. which is, perhaps,- an essential change in our way of life in Eretz Yisra'el. If we indeed succeed on that path that we started last night, 'the path of achieving peace first with Egypt and then, I hope; with the other countries, we have perhaps, we hope, succeeded in achieving a part of a new way of life, one that we have been seeking for many years.
