Kissinger Plan May Break Mid East Impasse
Col Robert Heins reports that the Kissinger plan offers an Arab Israeli peace framework. It calls for a UN supervised relief corridor to aid the Egyptian Third Army and Suez civilians, POW exchanges, a potential lifting of Egypts blockade of Bab El Mandeb, and initial negotiations to return to October 22 ceasefire lines within a flexible framework. Egypt need not be bound by extremist ally positions, and a de facto recognition between Egypt and Israel may emerge.
