Arab summit splits over strategy against Israel
Delegates from 14 Arab states and the PLO at Rabat discussed three courses of action toward Israel. A split emerged with some favoring political solutions, others calling for a general war, and a third group backing guerrilla raids from territories Israel holds. Arafat sought more support for guerrilla activity while fearing political complications from a Palestinian exile government. Syria and Morocco agreed to restore diplomatic ties after four years.
