Meir cites Soviet escalation in Middle East
Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir said Soviet military involvement in the Middle East has reached an advanced dangerous stage. Secretary Rogers said the U S is reconsidering Israel’s request for more warplanes amid the Russian buildup. Israel pressed a patrol against Arab guerrillas in Lebanon and fighter bombers attacked Egyptian targets along the Suez Canal. Thousands of workers in Lebanon staged a one day nationwide strike to push for a stronger military stance against Israel. Meir warned the unprecedented level of Soviet penetration could spur Egypt to renew aggression and threaten the cease fire. Abba Eban had urged urgent delivery of 50 Phantom fighters and other U S weapons during a Washington visit. Rogers commented in Rome that Phantom requests were under reconsideration. Tito cheered by Yugoslavs at his 78th birthday celebration in Belgrade.
