Menachem Begin shakes hands with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and then makes a mockery and farce out of the hope for peace in the Middle East by attacking Iraq's nuclear reactor [June 22]. When will he and his government learn that you can't shake one Arab's hand and hold a gun to another Arab's head and call it making peace? Put down your guns, shake your enemy's hand and see how fast you'll have fewer enemies. The majority of the population of the Middle East are Arab...
After months of moving slowly on the Middle East, the Reagan Administration is getting ready to launch a drive for a settlement of the Palestinian issue. The U.S. is encouraged that Begin will confer with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in Alexandria later this month, an indication that the two are still prepared to work together.

Trying to pick up the large number of undecided votes, Peres offered the post of Defense Minister in his shadow cabinet to former Prime Minister...
...other Arab leaders closed ranks, Egypt's President Anwar Sadat found himself once again dangerously isolated because of his continuing support of the peace talks with Israel. So outraged was the Egyptian parliament by the raid that it might have demanded that the entire Egyptian-Israeli dialogue be reconsidered if Sadat aides had not intervened to cool off the members of his own party. Egyptian officials, moreover, expressed concern that the U.S.'s own credibility in the Middle East was at stake and urged Washington to take a decisive stand for the sake of its interests...
