Still, Mrs. Meir's Knesset speech was not a definite rejection. Nor have Israel's opponents thus far rejected Rogers' proposals. Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser, who arrived in Moscow for a week-long official visit, met three times with Soviet Communist Boss Leonid Brezhnev and Premier Aleksei Kosygin, principally to discuss the U.S. overture. At the United Nations, Russian Ambassador Yakov Malik indicated that Moscow might be amenable to something less than complete Israeli withdrawal. Russia's Ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Dobrynin, made the same point six weeks ago in the private discussions...
...accepted the principles of the U.N. resolution. Foreign Minister Abba Eban hinted that Israel would be willing to make surprising concessions once negotiations began. Even hawkish Defense Minister Moshe Dayan allowed that "we are ready to give up a great deal for peace, and that includes territories." Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, meanwhile, had pointedly emphasized in a May Day speech that "we have not closed the door completely with the U.S." During a recent television interview, moreover, Nasser acknowledged that he could agree to secure borders for Israel in return for Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories...
Tripoli Summit.

Running opposite Port Said in the north to a point opposite the city of Suez in the south, the line was finished only days before Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser renounced the cease-fire and launched his "war of attrition" in March 1969. Lieut. General Haim Bar-Lev devised the Suez defense system as both a shield and a springboard. "Its day-to-day mission is to prevent a serious breaching of the canal," he said last week...
Most observers in Cairo date the buildup from Gamal Abdel Nasser's secret three-day trip to the Soviet Union last January. At that time, Israeli aircraft were regularly making deep-penetration raids into Egyptian territory. Had the attacks continued, Nasser's political position could have been severely shaken, and this in turn could have jeopardized Moscow's massive investment in Egypt...
