Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Dayan outlined a plan to thin air force, infantry, artillery, and armor on both sides of the Suez Canal to ease negotiations for a new cease fire. He said moves would require Egyptian agreement and stressed this is a new cease fire pact, not withdrawal. Western sources in London report secret talks to revive Gunnar Jarring’s mission by Christmas as US and allies seek Soviet support for a renewed truce before February expiry. Egypt objected to another cease-fire extension, saying Israel seeks to freeze the occupation as fact.
