Gaza and Sharm-El-Shlekfa. Mr. Eshkol, Dejputy Prime Minister Yig^ Allon,' For¬ eign Minister Abba Eban and Defense Minister Moshe Da-' yan have all^ indicated their belief in statements in tbe past that Israel,would with¬ draw from most occupied Ar^b territories, holding on to those areas necessary for defense such as the Go¬ lan Heigiits,GazsandShann- el-SMekh and Jerusalem,

which no Israeli Government' could, possibly allow to be divided again.
MR. ESHKOL'S remarks, carried in Newsweek Magar zine, caused a brief but: in¬ tense pditical crisis for the Government. Mr. AUon said the statements in question were not included in the magazine's article submitted for approval tothe Govern^, ment. He said the Newsweek reporter usedbackgroundii)'- form^on suppUed by Mr. Eshkol during a two-hour ~ interview.
But the four-member Free Center faction In the Inesset (Parliament) seized onthe remarks and Introduced a motion of no confidence In {the Government. This raised j tbe possibility that the Gahal alignment which-favors re¬ taining all the new terri¬ tories, would withdraw from the "national unity" Cabi¬ net. The Free Center mem¬ bers broke away from Rerut several years ago. Herut, to¬ gether  with the Liberal Party, make up GahaL .  GAHAL ministers met with Government; leaders and de» .a^li^'-n(*ptoJsu{;p^theJla^,i; cont^nce m'ot^n. ,Other membet^^oCthe'Govemment took a similar position and the motion was defeated 74- 5  with seven abstentions. Mr. Eshkol had requested the Newsweek interview to answer amagazlne interview with Egyptian President Ga¬ mal Abdel Nasser, in which the Arab leader proposes a peace plan based on IsraeU withdrawal from the occu¬ pied lands.
