...They were fighting for the life of the Camp David peace talks," declared an American official last week, and so it seemed. For more than two days, U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Sol Linowitz haggled vigorously with senior Israeli officials in Jerusalem. Finally, after his last two-hour session with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, Lino witz emerged with an unmistakable ex pression of satisfaction on his face. Less than a day later, the reason became clear...

...latest series of ministerial-level talks had been kept alive only through a frantic bit of "elevator diplomacy" by the tenacious Linowitz, who shuttled between the Egyptian delegation on the fourth floor of the Dan Accadia Hotel in Herzlia and the Israeli delegation on the second floor. But it was not enough. The talks came close to collapse last week over one of five key issues on which Egyptian and Israeli views diverge: security in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.* Egypt has proposed a formula providing for security matters to be shared by the proposed Palestinian council...
