 History of a hot potato, Haaretz
As prime minister, Levi Eshkol is identified with many subjects, such as the strengthening of Israeli-American relations or the decision to have Zionist Revisionist leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky's coffin be transferred here for reburial - a decision that helped to thaw internal relations in the local political arena.
Eshkol astutely chose this timetable: The U.S. presidential elections were to be held shortly thereafter, and the president would have to consider that "his failure to accept such an unusual request from Eshkol would be leaked to the press and would hurt his chances for support from the `Jewish vote.'"
A memo Harriman sent to the administration indicates that he accepted most of Eshkol's demands, and his remarks led the administration to adopt a position whose significance should never be underestimated.

So Eshkol spent the next thirty years looking for places in which new settlements could indeed be established, and, as head of the Jewish Agency's Land Settlement Department, he supervised the founding of nearly 400 new Jewish villages.
The great drama and pain of Eshkol's last years, however (he died of a heart attack-a polite name, I think, for a broken heart-in 1969) was his rift with Ben-Gurion, whose absolutely loyal follower he had been for decades and at whose request he reluctantly took over as prime minister in 1963.
