Carter envoy wins delay for Begin plan to move to East Jerusalem
Sol Linowitz, Carter's envoy, pressured Prime Minister Begin to postpone moving his office to East Jerusalem while renewing Egyptian Israeli talks on autonomy. Egyptian officials noted a tradeoff for a Carter Sadat Begin summit after the U.S. election. Begin's cabinet opposition and regional sensitivities keep the move uncertain, with a transfer possibly before the 1981 Israeli elections to preserve hardline support. The Linowitz mission also secured concessions from Egypt.
