...working lunch Sunday a few hours before the Egyptian President spoke to the Knesset. The location was the King David Hotel. Sadat, who customarily eats a late breakfast and skips lunch, sipped juice and coffee while the five other participants-Begin, Dayan, Deputy Premier Yigael Yadin, Sadat Aide Hassan Kamel and Egyptian Socialist Liberal Party Leader Mustafa Kamel Murad-ate heartily. Once pleasantries were over, Dayan was the first to talk about substance: "Let's hear what you expect from...
...with reporters and diplomats in New York, Farouk Kaddoumi, the de facto foreign minister of the Palestine Liberation Organization, has hinted strongly that his organization is prepared to recognize Israel's right to exist under certain conditions. But back in Beirut, Yasser Arafat's political adviser, Hani Hassan, still insists that "our response must be: no recognition of the state of Israel.

Dayan discussed the need for alternative diplomatic approaches in case of a Geneva conference impasse. He also urged Begin to tone down all talk of new settlements, including...
Weary Sigh. The nature of the French postindependence presence in Djibouti awaits negotiation between Paris and the infant republic's new President, Hassan Gouled, 61, a veteran politician who agitated for Djibouti's independence for nearly 30 years. Now that it is here, he does not seem very enthusiastic about it. "We shall survive somehow," he says with a weary sigh. "The Saudis have promised to help, and France will not abandon us entirely. We have few people and almost no resources, but we will get by as long as our neighbors leave us alone...
