...Cold-shouldered Israeli attempts to commit the U.S., in advance of Tel Aviv's full compliance with U.N. resolutions, to support her demands that in any Mideast settlement Israel be guaranteed free passage through the Suez, protection from further Egyptian commando raids, etc. The State Department, determined that Israel not be rewarded for her attack on Egypt, told the Israeli Foreign Ministry in effect: first things first, i.e., no U.S. commitments until Israel withdraws behind the 1949 armistice lines. On the other side of the ledger, the U.S. Treasury gave no sign of heeding fervent Egyptian requests that...
...along the frontier. In the narrow northern waist of Israel, a zealous police officer on the Jordan border imposed a 5 p.m. curfew on Kafr Kassim (pop. 2,000), an Arab village inside Israel.

The time for the U.S. to attack these problems, reported TIME correspondents in London, Cairo and Tel Aviv, will never be more opportune than now. For despite massive Russian propaganda attempts to claim credit for stopping Middle East aggression, both Arabs and Israelis understand that the U.S.: 1) comes out of the crisis with clean hands and unparalleled moral authority; 2) seeks no private gain in the Middle...
...steep sand dune seven miles east of the Suez Canal, sun-blackened members of D Company, 52nd Israeli Armored Battalion squatted under a tank's camouflage netting listening to a radio. "Well, it's all over," said one at Tel Aviv's report of a cease-fire halting their Sinai blitz. "We should have finished Nasser off," said a second. "He's finished already," said a third tankist. "At last we've won a real victory and now we'll get a real peace...
