Letter withheld on Israeli bases amid Camp David dispute
Washington officials said the Carter administration will not release its letter pledging aid for new Israeli air bases until the West Bank settlement dispute is resolved. They denied tying aid to Camp David settlement bans but acknowledged Israel may view it that way. A State Department official also noted renewed interest in reconvening a Geneva conference co-chaired by the Soviet Union to advance Camp David frameworks and broader Middle East peace efforts. The decision underscores ongoing tensions between Israel and the United States over settlements and regional diplomacy.
