Talks on Suez disengagement stall amid tough stances
Israeli and Egyptian delegations opened talks in Geneva with rigid positions. Israel demands moving west bank troops to the east bank, effectively trading sides, while Egypt seeks broader retreat to lines from El Arish to Ras Mohammed or to remain west of Sinai passes with UN buffer.
