Arab Leaders Back Sanctions Over Land Feud
A summit in Bachdad Iraqi leaders and 16 countries debated how far to push actions against the United States over Middle East policy. Hard-liners led by Iran and the Palestinian Liberation Organization favored strong steps to curb Soviet Jewish emigration, while moderates from Saudi Arabia and Egypt urged restraint to avoid widening tensions. The PLO official Yasser Abed-Rabbo claimed a rare agreement to integrate military, economic, and political tools for Arab security.

Arabs debate sanctions linking policy to emigration
Arab League leaders met late into the night to decide on a plan of action within two months. A committee of foreign and economic ministers would draft sanctions targeting Western or East European nations that allow or encourage Jewish emigration to Israel and hinder Middle East peace initiatives. The discussion noted uncertainty over disrupting Arab oil exports and referenced the 1973 embargo as a possible precedent. The Soviet Jewish migration issue was also raised after Moscow eased travel limits.
