...next ten or 12 months, we should keep our eye on three different arenas. First, there is the negotiation between Egypt, Israel and the U.S., which aims at giving substance to the ambiguous and open-ended Camp David agreement on a five-year, transitional autonomy scheme for the West Bank and Gaza. Second, there is the strained relationship between the U.S. (and Egypt) on the one hand, and the rest of the Arab world, which has denounced the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty and attacked the Camp David agreement as unacceptable. Thirdly, there is the complicated game that goes on between...
...negotiations between Egypt, Israel and the U.S., under the auspices of Robert Strauss, President Carter's chief Middle East negotiator, are likely to lead to an agreement, if only because the U.S., in an election period, is in no position to try to force Israel to turn autonomy into a prelude to self-determination, and because Egypt, primarily concerned with the return of the Sinai, will probably ask for little more in the occupied territories than the creation of an administrative council with limited powers--the rest being up to the Palestinians themselves...
...been extraordinarily restrictive, the Begin government has every incentive to yield just enough to keep Sadat happy, to worsen the split between Egypt and the other Arabs, and perhaps to attract Jordan and to divide the Palestinians in the occupied territories into rejectionists and gradualists.

...Egypt--a rift that may have serious effects on the price and quantities of Saudi oil--will have to find a new way, and return to the idea of a comprehensive settlement. If, on the contrary, the West Bank Palestinians, while denouncing the autonomy scheme as insufficient, decide, in agreement with the PLO and Jordan, to run for office and to keep pressing for an enlargement of their powers and for full self-determination after five years, Begin will appear as having played the role of the sorcerer's apprentice when he launched the idea of autonomy...
...independence of so many British colonies took place, Zimbabwe Rhodesia's* Prime Minister Bishop Abel Muzorewa sits down this week with his archenemies Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe, co-leaders of the Patriotic Front. The purpose of the conference, which is sponsored by Britain, is to forge an agreement that may lead to Patriotic Front participation in new elections and an end to the bloody seven-year civil war. With a stable majority-rule government in Salisbury, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher could lift the 13-year-old economic sanctions against Britain's breakaway colony when they expire...
