Despite the hassling over last-minute details, many of which still remain to be worked out by Israeli and Egyptian delegates in Geneva under General Siilasvuo's supervision during the next two weeks, there were no real surprises in the final accord. The general principles had been more or less accepted by both sides before Kissinger undertook his shuttle (TIME cover, Aug. 25). The Israelis agreed to move their troops out of the Mitla and Giddi passes in Sinai and also turn back to Egypt the Abu Rudeis oilfields captured during the Six-Day War. Egypt agreed in writing...
Civilian Experts. The Geneva accord, which will remain in force for the next three years, was unquestionably an American diplomatic triumph; but it involved an unprecedented American commitment to help maintain peace in the Middle East.

The Soviet press, which until last week had scarcely noticed Kissinger's shuttle, denounced the new agreement as "potentially dangerous" and "neglectful" of Arab needs. Understandably, the accord was bitterly attacked by Yasser Arafat, leader of the Palestine Liberation...
