ABBA EBAN WAS OFTEN REFERRED to as the voice of Israel. He was one of Israel's most brilliant, eloquent, and skillful representatives abroad in the struggle for independence and in the first 25 years of statehood. He was less effective in the rough and tumble of Israeli domestic politics because he lacked the common touch and, more importantly, because he lacked a power base of his own. Nevertheless, he played a major role in the formulation and conduct of Israel's foreign policy during a crucial period in the country's history
