Kissinger signals urge for domestic policy review amid Middle East fighting
Dr Kissinger worked at the State Department from early Sunday morning until late at night seeking assessments from a panel of senior foreign policy advisers known as the Action Group. He telephoned Ambassador Dobryna as Moscow condemned Israel for the fighting though the Kremlin stance remained unclear. British sources note Soviet advisers and technicians left before the war, suggesting disassociation from Egyptian Syrian policy. Israeli intelligence had warned of Arab buildup along the Suez cease-fire line. Robert J McCloskey said Arab military intentions appeared defensive.
