Some of these points had been agreed on, in principle at least, before Kissinger's shuttle flights between Jerusalem and Cairo were grounded by deadlock. But political changes since that time have helped nudge the principals closer on remaining issues. One change is that Rabin's government, too weak in the spring to risk a final yes to Egypt and survive criticism at home, is stronger now.
