He strongly criticized the economic policies of his own government-in part, perhaps, because he is trying to fill the political vacuum caused by the illness of Premier Menachem Begin, who is still recuperating from a mild stroke. But he saved the best part of his fire for the U.S., warning it against recognzing the P.L.O. or in any other way strengthening the chances of a wholly independent Palestinian state's develop ing in the West Bank and Gaza...
