Jayan Ends Months of Silence With Criticism
w
- /
By Gil Sedan
JERUSALEM UTA)-
Former Foreign Minister
Moshe -Dayan ended eight
months of public silence with
a blast of criticism against
Premier Menachem Begin
and his government in the
Knesset last week. He
specifically accused Begin of
distorting his proposals for
Palestinian autonomy to
make it appear that Dayan
advocated a weakening of Israel's security in the occupied territories.
Dayan, who defected from
the Labor Party in 1977 and
joined Begin's Likud-led
government when it took
office that' year, resigned
last Oct. 22. He retained his
Knesset seat as an independent MK. Unlike Defense Minister Ezer Weizman ,who resigned on May 26 with a bit
ter attack on Begin's policies, Dayan departed quietly
and had little to say in public
about the government's
performance.
But his recent speech was
fierce in tone and scathingly
critical   of   the   Premier.
