...themselves with more foes than just the Israelis. In Lebanon, exiled Syrian politicians, including former Premier Amin Hafez-whom the Baathists overthrew last year-meet regularly to plot a return to power. Jadid has lately been at odds with the civilians through whom he rules. Chief of State Noureddin Attassi, who is believed to favor a somewhat more conciliatory policy toward Israel, recently walked angrily out of a conference with the generals.

Foreign Minister Birame Mamadou Wane of Mauritania argued that Israel's "Zionist expansionism" was somehow connected to apartheid in South Africa. Syrian President Noureddin Attassi, who spent most of his time before the war inciting Arab armies to "wipe Israel off the face of the earth," charged that "Israeli neocolonialism is based in its essence on the total extermination of the Arab people."
