Israel Warns UN Not To Alter Plan
United Nations in New York and Jerusalem report Israel warned the Security Council against changing the wording of UN resolutions 38, 242 and the Geneva invitation. Rabin said such changes would free Israel from past commitments while Syria reportedly agreed to a six month extension in exchange for progress toward Geneva talks. Waldheim met Hussein in London and urged renewal before Sunday, with Syria denying any commitment. UNDOF peacekeepers continue to separate Israeli and Syrian forces on the Golan Heights.
