Enunciating Israel's "principles of peace," Foreign Minister Abba Eban made the small but key concession that Israel would not demand face-to-face discussions with the Arabs, until now an Israeli precondition for negotiations. But, insisted Eban, any agreement would have to be signed by all parties. Egypt's Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad revealed that he would be willing to negotiate with Jarring a "timetable" to put into effect the U.N. Middle East resolution passed last November.

And yet he, like his opponent, still promises to give Israel the Phantom jets, claiming that somehow this will bring peace to the area.

...United Nations, Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban sternly rejected any multinational effort to mediate a settlement as merely providing the Arabs with a shelter against "the necessity of peace." Then, flying from New York to Strasbourg to address the Council of Europe, Eban turned to a more hopeful future by proposing an economic union of Israel, Lebanon and Jordan-a notion that even he had to admit wryly was "perhaps Utopian." Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad's reply in the U.N. was an attack on the U.S. for adopting "a position of alignment with Israel and hostility toward...
