JERUSALEM, June 17—The dominant figures in the Israeli Cabinet have reached a consensus on a plan for the eventual disposition of the occupied west-bank area of the Jordan River. The chief feature of the plan is a provision for a string of paramilitary Israeli settlements in the Jordan Valley along the western edge of the river.

The settlements would provide Israel with a so-called security belt against infiltration and attack, but would avoid the problem of incorporating large numbers of Arabs into the state.
