December 1981 CE

The Likud government views the possibility of peace and compromise with suspicion.

Begin again turns to Lebanon, where he is determined to defeat the PLO.

He is cautioned by U.S. Secretary of State Alexander Haig not to attack unless there is an "internationally recognized provocation."

However, the failure of the Village League Plan, the escalating violence in the occupied territories, in addition to increased PLO attacks against northern Israeli settlements, and Syria's unwillingness to respond when the Knesset extends Israeli law to the occupied Golan Heights in December 1981, convinces Begin and Sharon of the need to intervene militarily in southern Lebanon.
