...daily al-Akhbar argued that it really did not matter who headed the Jerusalem government since "the liberation of occupied Arab lands is not dependent on who will come to power in Israel but on Arab solidarity and insistence on the realization of Arab goals." Last week Egyptian President Anwar Sadat met in Riyadh with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Fahd?who makes his first visit to Washington this week?and Syria's Hafez Assad. The three ledfders found the portents discouraging. If Washington is unable to exert pressure on the new Israeli government for a settlement, one Syrian official...

From Sudan, which shares a border with Zaire, President Jaafar Numeiry promised aid. Even Ugandan Dictator Idi Amin Dada talked about dispatching 30 truckloads of paratroopers, though none arrived...
Jimmy Carter and Anwar Sadat had never met before, so they boned up on each other before the Egyptian President arrived in Washington last week. Sadat, the first in a series of Arab leaders whom Carter will meet this spring (next: Jordan's King Hussein and Syria's President Hafez Assad), had wondered, for example, whether Carter's commitment to Christianity obtruded on his views of the Middle East (Answer: no). Carter had commented to an aide that from his reading Sadat appeared to be "a fascinating character." One foreign policy aide gave Carter a short lecture...
