...through their elaborate ballet in space, American and Russian diplomats were continuing their own interminable dance. Without any apparent hindrance from the Soviets, the U.S. prodded Israel and Egypt toward a second-stage agreement in the Sinai. As Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko met in Geneva, there seemed new possibilities for agreement on nuclear arms limitation...
...that route because it would bring the Soviets, other Arab nations and the P.L.O. into the discussions, broadening and complicating what seemed to be a comparatively simple Sinai negotiation. The Russians did not press Kissinger for a return to Geneva. Last week Kissinger met with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko in that city, primarily to discuss nuclear disarmament. On the Middle East, Gromyko indicated that the Soviets would not impede Kissinger's negotiations-provided that all parties agreed to return to Geneva for formal ratification of any pact...

As a result, Israeli diplomats awaited Washington's reading of Sadat's latest offers with skeptical interest, since Rabin is scheduled to visit West Germany this week and Kissinger will be in Geneva to confer with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko.

Under one proposal, which neither Jerusalem nor Cairo has explicitly rejected, the two passes could be demilitarized and put under...

The main reason: it would tend to promote unrealistically high expectations, and exacerbate the crisis condition...
More than that, since the 1973 war the Soviets have watched uneasily as Washington began playing both sides of the Middle East street. To get a share of the mediator's role, Moscow is now trying to restore the links with Israel. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko has declared that the Soviet Union would guarantee Israel's existence in return for its withdrawal from occupied Arab territory. Soviet delegates have visited Jerusalem to discuss renewing diplomatic relations. Israeli leaders are pleased but are keeping details of the discussions to themselves...
