...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...

He seized on the substance of the U.S. note, which apparently did not specify Israeli withdrawal from "all" occupied Arab territories.

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...
