...more intense form." Her point was underscored when Soviet-made SA-2 missiles near the Suez Canal brought down a Phantom jet and an Israeli Skyhawk within half an hour of each other. The planes were the only ones to be destroyed by SA-2s since the Six-Day War other than a lone Piper Cub. The fact that Russia has apparently developed mobile platforms for the missiles, enabling Egypt to shift and hide them in an area that has been subjected to 25 consecutive days of bombing, convinced Israel that a temporary truce would be militarily devastating...
...mocking answer to Rogers' call for peace, the most severe fighting since the 1967 Six-Day War broke out between the Israelis and the Syrians on a 45-mile front along the occupied Golan Heights in Syria. Still, the situation might have been even worse. Originally, the State Department had been expected to announce last week that the U.S. would supply Israel with additional warplanes. But U.S. diplomats feared that the warplane announcement, even if it were accompanied by a peace initiative, would imperil the chances for a Middle East solution. American diplomats in Arab countries warned that anti...
Nothing New. The U.S. suggested that both sides accept at least a 90-day ceasefire. For its part, Israel should agree to evacuate territories captured during the Six-Day War. The Arab states, on the other hand, should acknowledge Israel's right to exist and agree to respect its borders.

He stressed that they could negotiate "in the same city, or in adjacent buildings, or on different floors of the same building, or different rooms...
...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 or more Arab refugees. In return, Nasser said, Egypt was prepared to accept the existence of Israel and its borders as they were before the Six-Day War. From Nasser, this was a new and intriguing offer...
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...
