...became the object of a prolonged tug of war between Italy and Yugoslavia, whose partisans had participated in the Allied capture of the region. In 1954, however, a practical accommodation was reached. Italy was granted provisional control over the northern section of the 287-sq.-mi. territory. Called Zone A, it included the city of Trieste (pop. 270,000), which is predominantly Italian but has a large Slovene minority.

Apart from a peremptory Syrian rejection of Israel's first disengagement proposals (which involved P.O.W. exchanges, limited Israeli withdrawal and a possible U.N. buffer zone between the two armies), nothing much has happened to spur the talks forward...
