Israel Egypt Arab arms sale tests Congress and leaders
Congress faces a May 28 deadline to voice disapproval of Carter's arms deal with Israel Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Carter and Begin celebrated Israel's 30th anniversary at the White House as they reaffirmed deep friendship and commitment to Israel's security amid ongoing disagreements over Middle East peace policy. Begin signaled optimism that Israeli-Egyptian talks can resume, while congressional committees begin scrutiny of the $4.8 billion sale. Israel would receive 75 F6s and F15s, Saudi Arabia 60 F15s, and Egypt unspecified fighters.
