...principles of the U.N. resolution. Foreign Minister Abba Eban hinted that Israel would be willing to make surprising concessions once negotiations began. Even hawkish Defense Minister Moshe Dayan allowed that "we are ready to give up a great deal for peace, and that includes territories." Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, meanwhile, had pointedly emphasized in a May Day speech that "we have not closed the door completely with the U.S." During a recent television interview, moreover, Nasser acknowledged that he could agree to secure borders for Israel in return for Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories...
Tripoli Summit. Arafat, as elected leader of the guerrillas' central committee and head of a provisional Palestinian parliament in exile, sits as an equal with Hussein, Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser and other heads of government of the 14-nation Arab League. His guerrilla movement has received unstinting praise from socialist leaders like Nasser and Libya's Muammar Gaddafi and ample funds from conservative rulers in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. But the radical guerrillas are something else. They raise the specter of Arab fighting Arab rather than Israel. With the Jordanian events as a leading item...
Another item on the Tripoli agenda was peace, or at least ceasefire. Nasser, who was there, was recently interviewed for U.S. television by Harvard Law Professor Roger Fisher. In the interview, aired last week, the Egyptian President proposed terms for a ceasefire. If Israel would agree to withdrawal from territories occupied in the 1967 war, he said, Egypt would agree to a six-month cease-fire to carry out the withdrawal. Israel would also have to restore "Palestinian rights"-complying with the U.N. November 1967 resolution on the Middle East-meaning presumably that it would repatriate or compensate a million...

Arab rulers realize that mindless destruction would hurt them more than the companies, which have alternative sources of supply-for example, in Iran. After the Six-Day War Egypt's President Nasser pressured other Arab countries into shutting off oil production for a while, but quietly kept his own country's oil flowing with the help of U.S. technicians. Now, however, Arab governments share with their populations a feeling that the U.S. should somehow be made to pay for its support of Israel. That feeling neatly coincides with -and underlies-a mounting demand for a greater share...
