Israel hints at possible compromise at peace talks
United Press International reports that Arabs pressed for stronger diplomacy and oil leverage as Middle East talks loom. Israel signaled potential concessions yet denied U S pressure, while Dayan arrived back from the United States saying not all territory must be kept. Egypt sought French and British attendance, and Maariv cited plans for a 20 000 Jewish city on the Golan Heights. Oil ministers warned of using petroleum as leverage until Israel withdraws, and fighting on cease fire lines yielded four exchanges with Egypt without casualties. Israel accused Syria and Egypt of POW murders and torture in earlier war.
