Sinai town El Arish returns to Egypt in peace move
The dusty Sinai town of El Arish is handed back to Egypt in a landmark step toward peace. About 200 Jewish settlers opposed to giving up a 10 acre vegetable patch clashed with unarmed Israeli troops before Deputy PM Yigal Yadin secured a promise of talks with President Sadat. The transfer coincides with Beersheba talks on Palestinian self rule as Egypt regains sovereignty over El Arish and adjacent coast land.
