Israel to cut Sinai troops as canal reopens
Israel will withdraw half its troops and most weapons from the Sinai front as a goodwill gesture aligned with the canal reopening. Prime Minister Rabin said Egypt may allow Israeli cargo through the canal if reciprocity occurs. Sadat and Kissinger called the move constructive and aimed at easing Egyptian concerns about artillery range. Egypt set a Thursday reopening eight years after closure. Rabin outlined troop and weapon pullbacks east of the canal and near the UN buffer zone.
