Young’s talk on defendable borders roils Middle East ties
Ambassador Andrew Young told the Conference of Presidents of major American Jewish organizations that President Carter’s use of the term defensible borders for Israel was deliberate. The briefing, aimed at quieting Jewish jitters over the peace plan, drew praise from leaders but drew fire from Arab nations and sparked questions about U.S. policy. Some insiders say Young should focus on the UN role rather than meddling in regional diplomacy.

Sadat’s cautious path supports Egypt’s fragile peace drive
Washington profiles Anwar Sadat as a shrewd yet composed leader who defied Nasser's legacy, realigned with the United States after breaking with the Soviet Union, and navigates Arab politics to push for peace with Israel. His charm masks a tough economy task list and domestic wind resistance.
