The author discusses the domestic inputs that attempt to influence Israel's territorial policy. Two major inputs are identified: the "possessors" and the "traders". The possessors believe either that the occupied territories were endowed to Israel by a biblical promise or are essential to the state's security, or both. The possessors' counterparts are the traders, who are willing to relinquish the territories, or substantial parts thereof, in return for peace. (DÜI-Hns)

This article addresses the role of a party in opposition during wartime, focusing on the style and determinants of the Israeli Labor party's criticism of the Lebanon war. The party adopted an ambiguous strategy and refrained from outright disapproval. The reasons for its ambiguity were grounded in the divisions within the government, the opposition party, and the public at large. Through its critical war stance, Labor sought to highlight the intragovernmental dissent, gain electoral rewards, and mobilize the support of antiwar groups. Labor refrained from criticism because its own leadership was split over the issue; it was exposed to the pressures of prowar groups; and it was responding to a prowar public mood.
