...counter to Israeli foreign policy since the end of the Six Day War. Almost everyone in Israel agrees that withdrawal to something like the pre-Six Day War boundaries has to happen eventually: therefore, if Israel would publicly acknowledge its readiness to return the occupied territories in Sinai and Golan in exchange for various guarantees of security and above all for recognition by Syria and Egypt, it would succeed in shifting the emphasis of the negotiations from the question of the occupied territories, to the Arab refusal to recognize Israel. In this way, he feels, Israel could end its isolation...
...step-by-step approach is possible only within the contest of a larger settlement, and offers his notion of possible guarantees: "For a long period both sides will have to be militarily separated. The aim ought to be the stationing in the Sinai, at Sharmel-Sheikh, in the Golan Heights, and in those portions of the Golan Heights, that are geographically closest to the Mediterranean, of international peace forces not composed of the superpowers.

...embargo in October 1973. The Cairo daily al Gumhouriya, once a vehicle for anti-Faisal propaganda campaigns, observed last week: "The Arab nation can never forget his heroic stand during the October war, or that he launched the oil battle in support of the fighters in Sinai and the Golan, or the moral and material aid that he gave without limit to the front-line states." Recalling that Faisal's most abiding wish-to pray at the Dome of the Rock in an East Jerusalem under Arab jurisdiction-had not been fulfilled, the newspaper added: "He gave much toward...
