Nixon Seeks Mid East Balance Favoring Israel
The Nixon administration aims for an Israel strong enough to deter Arab attack from territories it holds but not so strong as to strike deep into Egypt. The U S plans to prevent a shift against Israel while delaying additional Phantom jets for Israel. Israel’s 285000-man army contrasts with Egypt’s 400000 and Jordan’s 100000, with air power central to balance considerations. Soviet involvement could tilt the balance if off ensive missions enter Israeli-held areas.
