...civilian technicians in the Sinai to monitor the truce electronically, Kissinger and President Ford are seeking a congressional resolution of support. Such a resolution, they hope, will not only silence domestic critics but also provide tangible support to Egypt's President Anwar Sadat and Israel's Premier Yitzhak Rabin, who are both being hounded by vocal critics...
Kissinger, Sadat and Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin quickly moved−in differing ways and against widely varying kinds and degrees of opposition−to justify the accords. To head off congressional worries that the American commitment to provide electronics experts might become a new Viet Nam adventure, President Ford and Kissinger met last week with leaders of the House and Senate at the White House.

A self-proclaimed dove, Sapir favored giving up captured Arab territory in return for an early Middle East peace agreement. After leaving the government last year, he devoted his energies to running the Jewish Agency, which encourages Jews round the world to immigrate to Israel...
...more bark than bite. Last week, as Cairo and Jerusalem were engaged in an elaborate game of diplomatic bluff, the rhetoric exploded again. Negotiations over a second-stage disengagement in Sinai hit snags that on the surface at least indicated the possibility of deadlock. But even as Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin was dismissing Egyptian proposals as unacceptable last week, he was also insisting that the talks must continue...
