ABSTRACT
The echoes of the Six Day War had just faded. While Israel was still having trouble digesting the magnitude of its victory over the Arab armies, in July 1967 the government was presented by one of its ministers, Yigal Allon, with a plan for the future borders of the country, and with proposed principles concerning peace arrangements with neighbouring countries. The plan was never accepted as Israel’s official plan, and consequently continued to be known by the name of its proponent as the Allon Plan, but even so it had considerable effect on Israel’s settlement map throughout the period that the Alignment was in power.
