Egypt Demands Israel Pull Back to Cease Fire Line
Egypt told the United States and the Soviet Union it would not attend the Geneva peace conference unless Israel withdraws to the Oct. 22 cease fire line. Cairo papers said the Egyptian presence in Geneva hinges on UN resolutions. Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmy met with U.S. Ambassador Herrmann Hilts and Soviet Ambassador Vladimir Vinogradov. Egypt halted talks with Israel a week earlier over alleged stalling, warning the Suez stalemate could jeopardize Geneva’s December 18 opening. Officials in Washington expect talks to proceed. A Tel Aviv military spokesman said both sides prepare for the worst as cease-fire violations persist. In Tel Aviv the Labor Party central committee backed Prime Minister Golda Meir after she accepted responsibility for early war setbacks amid debate on borders.
