Israel's Black Panthers emerge as dissent symbol
In Jerusalem, a small fringe group calling itself the Black Panthers has become a focal point for discontent amid Israel's fragile peace. Led by Reuven Abergil, the movement claims to represent Sephardic Jews from North Africa and the Middle East, though authorities see it as a publicity-driven project.

Panthers of Israel and the rise of disillusioned youth
The piece portrays urban Sephardic families near poverty in Israel and describes a shift from Aber gil style rebels to committed revolutionaries within the Panther readership. It highlights Yesheskel Cohen, a 30 year old Tel Aviv University graduate who now pushes the Panthers as a serious movement. He criticizes government policy and laments unemployment among graduates. He says Ashkenazi peers would have jobs and accuses the government of exploiting and failing to unite the population.

Egypt and Israel edge toward canal reopening talks
U S and Egyptian officials report Cairo moving toward a flexible mediation stance on reopening the Suez Canal after a secret meeting between President Anwar Sadat and a U S envoy. Israel signals openness but Meir's parliament speech foreshadows possible setbacks amid tensions from a Soviet Egyptian treaty. Arab guerrilla attacks in Gaza mark the war anniversary as diplomatic notes seek limits on forces crossing the canal and an interim peace accord.
