Allon led the Palmach and was an IDF major general who oversaw the Southern Command. He served in the Knesset from 1955 until his death. After the 1967 war, he proposed returning the West Bank to Jordan with an Israeli buffer in the Jordan Valley, then later suggested Arab home rule. His government posts included labor and foreign minister, and he was acting prime minister after Levi Eshkol died.
