Egypt May Free Ships But Keep Canal Closed Until Sinai Withdrawn
Egypt may release 15 stranded ships in the southern Suez Canal but will not reopen the waterway to international traffic until Israel withdraws from the Sinai Peninsula. Official spokesman Dr. Mohamed Hassen el Zayyat said a plan to remove a sunken vessel is under study, yet the canal would stay closed to shipping under Israeli gun emplacements on the east bank. Al Abram reported Nasser’s government studied the problem and found clearance feasible, spurred by requests from Poland France Britain and India, while Nasser would retain leverage for Israeli withdrawal. Skeleton crews remain aboard the vessels to maintain the stranded fleet.
