Israeli Labor endorses restraining borders stance at convention
Israel's Labor party backed leaders' refusal to withdraw from occupied territories and pressed for substantial changes to pre-1967 borders. The resolution, approved by a large majority, criticized U. S. proposals and affirmed Dayan's doctrine to retain the Golan Heights, Gaza, East Jerusalem, and Sharm el Sheikh while preventing Arab forces crossing west of the Jordan River. In a separate note, Arkansas osteopaths win full medical rights, boosting rural care. Dr. George B. Bean says the reform will expand access, with a slow but eventual influx of osteopaths nationwide. The measure allows osteopaths to practice medicine and surgery in Arkansas for the first time, aligning with similar moves in 47 other states.
