...occupy Lebanon south of the Litani River to keep the Palestinians out of the area. Washington, which had no advance notice from Jerusalem of the move, was almost as alarmed as the Arabs. President Carter and Secretary of State Cyrus Vance expressed their concern to Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan during his Washington visit; Dayan merely bucked the American protest to Jerusalem...
...Administration's push on the Middle East took place against a backdrop of ominous new fighting between Israeli and Palestinian forces in southern Lebanon. This provided an extra note of urgency as the first visitor, Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan, arrived in Washington after a mysterious side trip for some personal diplomacy of his own. He was followed by his counterpart from the most moderate of Israel's adversaries, Ismail Fahmy of Egypt.

...possible compromise proposal the Administration will discuss with Dayan is that Israel negotiate at Geneva with a pan-Arab delegation, including representatives of Egypt, Syria, Jordan and the Palestinians. The idea is one of four alternative plans for reconvening Geneva that Vance took with him to the Middle East last month. From the Administration's vantage, the proposal would remove from individual Arab countries the onus of making concessions to Israel and also get around Israel's rejection of a separate Palestinian delegation. Unfortunately, neither side is very hopeful about it. The Arabs, with their own political differences...
