Israeli troops block settlers bid in West Bank
Israeli forces halted two unauthorized settler attempts on the West Bank as Egypt at the UN pressed a resolution to end such settlements within seven weeks. The plan, crafted by Prime Minister Begin to appease hardliners and avoid U.S. anger, would move would-be settlers into army camps for two months pending government approval. Egyptian FM Fahmy condemned Zionism as racist and urged equal PLO representation in talks while Syria’s Khaddam floated a unified Arab delegation for Geneva talks. White House noted differences in views with no detail. Two U.S. senators disputed reports that Iran would cut oil exports to pressure Israel, calling such a move dishonorable if true.
