...raisers, the former chief of staff of Israel's armed forces deliberately chose to speak as "a military man." Said Rabin: "We do not seek war, but if war is forced upon us, the Arabs will find a stronger Israel than they think they might find." Rabin rejected Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's call for an Israeli withdrawal within 90 days on three fronts-the Sinai desert, the Golan Heights and the West Bank of the Jordan River. Deadlines have "no validity whatsoever for Israel," the Premier said...
...Egyptian and Syrian fronts. Arafat, though, dubious about Kissinger's approach to personal diplomacy, recently predicted that it would reach "a dead end." The Palestinians want the Secretary's peace negotiations to fail because they feel that their bargaining chances would improve at a Geneva conference, where the Russians would have a say and where they would be assured a seat. Beyond that, they suspect Washington's ties to Israel. In an interview with Le Monde earlier this month, Arafat attacked "American Zionist intrigues in which certain Arab countries are participating." The aim, he added...

One is his inability to improve Soviet relations with Egyptian Premier Anwar Sadat. Another is the wording of the U.S. trade bill, which Brezhnev initially hoped would grant huge dollar credits to the Soviet Union. As passed by Congress last month, it puts a paltry $300 million limit to such credits. It also makes free emigration for Soviet citizens...
...Israel signed in 1967 along with Egypt, Jordan, the U.S.S.R. and the U.S., then evacuation of the territories occupied in the 1967 war could be the basis for Arab recognition of the right of Israel to exist behind recognized frontiers, and for a stable peace. This has been the Egyptian position explicitly affirmed since 1971. It would seem to be an opportunity Israel cannot afford this time to ignore...
