Middle East Reappraisal As U S Weighs Next Steps
In Washington the question whether the United States emerged a loser or winner from the latest Middle East conflict is debated. A threatened Arab oil embargo harms the economy and strains U S European ties, yet the war boosted U S leverage over Israel and clout at Geneva. Egypt and the United States resumed diplomatic relations on November 7, while Sadat’s balanced approach seeks concessions from Israel. Moscow also seeks a settlement advantageous to Arabs, yet both superpowers need a Middle East accord. Public mood in Israel shifts after the war, with Dec 31 elections likely to test support for hardline positions. Dayan warns of pressure on negotiations while Kissinger probes possible security guarantees for Israel, pondering borders and U S involvement.
