Reports TIME Cairo Bureau Chief Wilton Wynn: "It is true that as of now no Egyptian official will admit that a separate peace is a possibility. Even the most moderate, like Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Butros Ghali or pro-American Editor Mustafa Amin, maintain that a peace without the other Arabs is impossible. Sadat himself insists that he must have a comprehensive settlement, not an Israeli-Egyptian accord.
