When Moshe Dayan
resigned as Israel's foreign
minister Sunday, reaction to
his bombshell announcement was swift. Labor PaVty
spokesmen declared it
spelled the beginning of the

and the National' Religious
Party welcomed his departure.

of State for Foreign Affairs,
Butros Ghali, a participant
in the autonomy • negotiations, said Dayan's resignation was proof that the
Israeli government's settlement policies on the West
Bank were an obstacle to
peace and that this was recognized even within Israel.
Associates of the Foreign
Minister said today that his
resignation had nothing lo do
with his health. 'Dayan
underwent surgery last June

Dayan, speaking to reporters at his' home in the
Zahala section of Tel Aviv
after announcing his decision, spelled out in some
detail his reasons for quit-
ting'the government that he
joined two years and four
months ago. He said he

where neither he nor his
ministry were participating
in key policy formulations.

and this was not coincidental
but stemmed from his disa- >
' greements with the* Cabinet
majority.
He made it clear that he
was   dissatisfied   with  the
