Silence on Middle East Crisis Sustains US diplomacy
The United States maintains a policy of silence amid the Middle East crisis as secret diplomacy aims to avert an Israeli Arab war. A State Department spokesman said restraint is intentional to balance diplomacy, with Egypt threatening to blockade the Gulf of Aqaba and Israeli oil supplies. Charles W. Yost is in Cairo for consults, while Israel and Egypt show no confirmed nuclear programs per U.S. assessments. The Synagogue Council of America calls for a national fast to show support for Israel.
