Cairo Faces Soviet Withdrawal Threat Shapes Egypt Israel Pact
Senior analysts say any Soviet pullout from Egypt will weaken Cairo’s vow to push Israeli forces from Sinai and challenge Moscow to supply more advanced arms. The plan’s scope may include 5,000 Soviet advisers and up to 15,000 pilots and support troops, while Egypt assumes base control and seeks stronger weaponry to pressure Israel or defend against future conflict, potentially eroding Moscow’s Middle East influence.

Nixon aims broad Jewish vote drive after convention
Washington President Nixon's strategists plan a wide campaign targeting American Jews through media and direct appeals. They expect a potential shift in Jewish voting toward Nixon, hoping to secure 35 to 40 percent and influence key states like New York California Ohio Illinois Pennsylvania and Florida. Jewish fundraising already shows a major rise, with Max M Fisher noting far more money flowing to Nixon than in 1968. McGovern aides expect counter moves including youth voter registration drives and Feldman notes a possible Israel visit to bolster McGovern's stance there.
