...critical event of Carter's first full day in Israel was his Sunday meeting with Begin and senior members of the Premier's Cabinet. There Carter formally presented Sadat's objections to the U.S compromise. And once again Carter, assisted by Vance, sought to bridge the not yet publicly disclosed Egyptian-Israeli differences. Certainly Carter pressed strongly the note he had sounded so firmly the night before: "It would be a tragedy to turn away from the path of peace after having come...
...kosher lunch had to be brought to the Cabinet room. When he emerged from the session, Carter admitted: "Important issues remain to be resolved." Said Begin of the talks: "very serious, very friendly." Earlier the Israelis had been saying that they were ready to accept cosmetic modifications by Sadat to the original U.S. proposals.

The increasingly personal nature of his leadership sometimes seems to be a protective device destined to give him room to maneuver but also keeping...
...elsewhere to avoid creating problems for his host. But so far, only two countries have offered the Shah a welcome: the U.S., which the Shah avoided at first but now says he "perhaps" will visit; and Egypt, where the Shah's old friend Anwar Sadat welcomed him when he left Tehran. Cairo's Kubbeh Palace, where President and Mrs. Carter stayed last week, is being readied for the Shah, should he decide to go there. If he does, the Egyptians will be prepared for a mighty squabble with Tehran. Egyptian officials are already pointing out that acceptance...
