Israel Pledges Peace Link to Suez Canal Withdrawal
Israel expresses willingness to help Egypt clear the Suez Canal but conditions withdrawal on peace with Egypt. Prime Minister Golda Meir tells the Knesset that any partial or total pullback must fit into agreed peace terms and maintain Israeli ship access to the canal. She defends not accepting Sadat’s proposal without clarity and warns it may seek strategic gains rather than peace. Egypt seeks clarification and accuses Israel of delaying. Sadat extends cease-fire by 30 days to March 7 and calls for partial Israeli withdrawal by then.
