U S lays groundwork for resupplying Israel
Washington reports the United States is preparing a major resupply option for Israel if needed amid the war with Syria and Egypt. No decision has been made as officials pursue a diplomatic path with the Soviet bloc for a ceasefire or framework for a negotiated settlement. A patchwork airlift of Soviet supplies to Egypt and Syria is described as preliminary, while Israel seeks faster delivery of promised F4 Phantom jets and other weapons.
