Ismailia Summit Shows Difficult Path to Middle East Peace
Washington reports the Ismailia summit between Egypt and Israel underscored that peace will require weeks or months of tough talks and concessions. Sadat and Begin made some progress on withdrawals but deadlocked on the Palestinian issue, with no quick fixes or sweeping withdrawals announced. The talks marked a rare start after 30 years of violence, but expectations were not met and the core dispute remains unresolved. Sadat described the Sinai as a side issue, while the Palestinian question remained the crux of the problem.
