...face in the same conference room. More important, the delegates quickly agreed to form a military working committee to resume the negotiations that broke down Nov. 29 at Kilometer 101 on the Cairo-Suez road. The critical subject: the "disengagement" of Egyptian and Israeli forces along the Suez Canal...
Along the Suez Canal there were ripples of unrest. The Israelis complained to UNEF that Egyptian troop advances were taking place along the western shore of the Great Bitter Lake, threatening Israeli supply lines.
