...statements on the subject, would resolve three fundamental issues: the nature of peace for Israel, the borders of the warring states, and the fate of the Palestinians. In his search for settlement, the President has met with Egypt's Anwar Sadat, Jordan's King Hussein, Saudi Arabia's Prince Fahd and Syria's Hafez Assad, in addition to Begin...
