Egypt and Israel eye cease fire with Sinai pullback
Observers in Jerusalem say Israel will likely reject Egyptian president Anwar Sadat's demand for Israeli withdrawal from Sinai waters. Egypt would allow a new cease-fire extension and reopen the Suez Canal if Israel pulls back from the canal area, with Egyptian troops moving into vacated land. Israel seeks a peace treaty and secure borders before any withdrawal.
