...negotiations between his country and Israel. They also increase the worry on all sides that time is running out for Middle East diplomacy and that fighting between Egypt and Israel may break out again. The Egyptians have been on record for eight weeks as going along with Swedish Mediator Gunnar Jarring's effort to extract commitments by both sides (basically Egypt would recognize Israel and agree to a binding peace; Israel would commit itself to withdrawal from all occupied territory). Jerusalem, on the other hand, has steadfastly refused to agree to full withdrawal...
...rigid in its approach toward peace than do other groups (14% v. 2% among those aged 40 to 59). But the young are also more insistent than the older Israelis on holding direct talks with the Arabs rather than the indirect discussions being conducted through United Nations Mediator Gunnar Jarring.

Still, inflation is expected to stay about the same as last year's 8%. The anti-inflationary policies have hurt small wage earners and great companies alike. Twenty-three workingmen in the mountain village of Stora Blasjon, some without work for the past two years, went on a hunger strike last...
...Golda Meir's closest advisers, admitted that the U.S. and Israel are engaged in "a strenuous argument." And the U.S. has let the Israelis know-"not as a threat but as a fact," as an American official put it-that Israel's unyielding attitude in discussions with Gunnar Jarring is making it increasingly difficult for Washington to prevent the Security Council from getting involved. This is the last thing the Israelis want, for the council would probably try to force an unacceptable settlement on them...
