...would make a broad-scale offer to the Arabs: return of all occupied territories in exchange for full peace, including treaties, diplomatic relations, economic ties and demilitarized zones. "We should tell Egypt it can have all of Sinai back," he says. "We should tell Syria it can have the Golan Heights. We should also tell 2% million Palestinian Arabs that they have the right to self-determination in a state east of ours including the West Bank and Gaza." Eliav would retain Israeli sovereignty over all of Jerusalem but expand the growing city by taking in Ramallah in the north...
...peacekeeping force in the Sinai at least until July, a shorter extension than Washington had hoped for, but enough to give U.S. diplomats a little breathing space. Among other things, Sadat's maneuver 1) put pressure on the Syrians to renew their own U.N. mandate on the Golan Heights, which expires May 30; 2) strengthened his support in Western Europe; 3) pleased Moscow and thereby served to encourage the Soviets to supply Egypt with more military aid; 4) made Sadat seem conciliatory while tightening the screws on Israel to make concessions; and 5) may even, in the view...

"If that happens," a Western military observer in Beirut predicted last week, "there will be a bump - and I don't see how it could be localized. There's too much hardware around on both sides and too much emotion. Events will simply take over...
...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...
