...details of what Washington believes are the final Egyptian proposals for a second-stage Sinai deal. He also brought a special hint from Washington: if Israel agrees to U.S.-backed Egyptian demands that it withdraw its forces completely from the strategic Mitla and Giddi passes and the Abu Rudeis oilfields, then Israel may be able to count on continued American military, economic and political support...
