Peace plan eyed as Syria attacks amid cease fire push
The United States opens talks with Middle East governments on a plan for a temporary cease-fire and a demilitarized zone along the Suez Canal. Syria mounts its fiercest assault on Israel since 1967, killing or wounding hundreds as Israel shells targets in Syria. The plan calls for Arab and Israeli withdrawals from areas near the line and a three month cease-fire starting July 1, with UN observers to monitor fortifications. Washington also seeks Israeli acceptance of the 1967 UN resolution and broader Arab acceptance of resumed mediation by Gunnar V. Jarring. Prime Minister Golda Meir warns against future U.S. demands she may not accept.
