Egyptian and Israeli envoys fail to break deadlock in Geneva
Egyptian and Israeli negotiators met in Geneva for a fifth time to resolve troop withdrawals along the Suez Canal front. No progress reported with U.S. reservations cited and Kissinger pressing for flexibility. Yedioth Ahronoth said the plan includes three stages with U.N. buffer zones and rapid disengagement if Cairo accepts. Egypt urged a Palestinian government in exile before the second stage, seeking permanent Middle East borders.
