“You head a strong and organised State, capable of controlling all the elements necessary for defining a political project capable of bringing peace to the region of the world of which Israel is a part… I know that your political party has always dreamed of both banks of the Jordan. Might this not be an opportunity to bring them together and allow this region to give the world a shared hope?... Menachem Begin, your former mentor, was able to receive and respond to the message from President Sadat… Today, you have the unique opportunity of drawing on the new, positive initiatives emanating from Arab and Muslim governments. Please do not give this chance a miss.”
