Egypt rejects peace plan as war threat grows
Egypt rejects Israel's latest Middle East peace plan over no firm commitment to Israeli withdrawal from all occupied Arab territory. The move raises the risk of renewed war after the current cease-fire ends. Gaza reports say guerrillas blew up Gaza City post office and injured others as Israeli commandos struck Lebanon. Egypt accuses Israel and reports violations of the cease-fire line. Egypt warns of possible hostilities and braces for casualties, while Syria and other partners move to full war footing. The Cairo view pins the failure to withdraw from occupied lands as the key obstacle in Jarring talks.

Fremont hearing on cheap noon meals for district students
The Citizens Advisory Committee heard a proposal from Fremont Unified School District food services director Olga Madison to set noon meals at five or six cents for all students, replacing the current 35 to 40 cent rates for elementary and high school pupils. She argued uniform pricing could simplify funding and address dietary needs, while district finance chief Harold Alameda noted a $132,500 local share after $37,500 in government aid. The panel, reviewing 21 state and federal funded programs, plans to finalize finance recommendations by February 17 after further discussions with principals.
