ABSTRACT
On this, the sixteenth morning, the Israeli commanders feel that their time is running out. Early today, Elazar phones Gonen, to tell him that Israel will accept the cease-fire proposal. Kissinger is reported as having already agreed with the Russians, and the UN Security Council will resolve on cease-fire tomorrow evening. At Southern Command HQ, the subject is raised to Deputy Prime Minister 270Yigal Allon, who is visiting today. Allon estimates that they have another three days. He later tells Sharon that there is enough time to complete his missions.
