Israel and Egypt at odds over Sinai peace talks
Washington reports say Israel and Egypt are far apart in initial positions for the next round of Sinai negotiations. Kissinger, on vacation, warned progress likely only after a Cairo meeting on January 1 and a mid January Brezhnev visit. Egypt demands passes and oil fields as preconditions, while Israel resists the oil field return. Arafat accuses Israel of planning a possible offensive against Syria and southern Lebanon, with U S occupation of Arab oil fields as the implied consequence.

Emergency power and shelters aid the homeless, with Wayne Whitlam ordering full-scale relief. The transport delay prompts a prepared airlift using military vessels and aircraft en route from Sydney for a city in ruin.

Watergate defense sums up case noted in Monday jury plan
Defense summations argued by Green and Ehrlichman’s attorney Frates highlighted differences among defendants. Green said Mardian faced only conspiracy counts with five relevant acts and called the acts “sand not concrete.” The focus on Nixon’s knowledge and Ehrlichman’s alleged loyalty framed the closing arguments as prosecutors and defense outlined motives and allegiance in the Watergate cover up context.
