In Kuwait, some members of parliament called for severance of diplomatic and economic ties with the U.S., including the imposition of an oil embargo.

Late last week the Saudis quietly invited Lebanese Phalangist Leader Bashir Gemayel to visit Taif, their unofficial summer capital, for talks with King Fahd and several visiting Arab diplomats. Gemayel, a Maronite, is not only leader of the powerful Christian militia known as the Lebanese Forces but a member of the recently formed National Salvation Committee...
