...Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser lingered in Moscow, extending his stay once, twice, then a third time, statesmen in a score of capitals wondered what was up. Were the Russians, mindful of recent U.S. warnings, finally trying to strong-arm their client into seriously considering the latest peace plan put forward by U.S. Secretary of State William Rogers? Or were the Russians and Egyptians taking all that time to check out a new shopping list of late-model Soviet weapons? When Nasser finally ended his 19-day visit last week and flew back to Cairo, a vague communique...
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.

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. Arafat, as elected leader of the guerrillas' central committee and head of a provisional Palestinian parliament in exile, sits as an equal with Hussein, Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser and other heads of government of the 14-nation Arab League. His guerrilla movement has received unstinting praise from socialist leaders like Nasser and Libya's Muammar Gaddafi and ample funds from conservative rulers in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. But the radical guerrillas are something else. They raise the specter of Arab fighting Arab rather than Israel. With the Jordanian events as a leading item...
