Kissinger May Offer US-Israel Defense Treaty
Secretary of State Kissinger may propose a treaty in which the United States would guarantee Israel’s defense if attacked. U.S. officials in Peking report the plan seeks enduring U.S. backing for Israel while warning that any strike on a neighboring Arab country could occur without American support. The cease-fire signed last Sunday prompted Israeli Egyptian talks at Kilometer 101 on the Suez Cairo road. Golda Meir urged Egypt to lift the Bab el-Mandeh blockade. Syria’s role remained limited as talks continued.
