Sadat and Faisal pledge new Arab unity drive against Israel
Cairo and Riyadh sealed a joint communique after strategy talks between President Anwar El-Sadat and King Faisal of Saudi Arabia. They vowed there will be no peace in the Middle East until Jerusalem and occupied Arab lands are liberated and Palestinian rights restored. The leaders sent envoys to Jordan with a message to King Hussein inviting Jordanian Palestinian accord in the broader Arab struggle. Yasir Arafat met with Sadat and Faisal, while the communique warned of a ferocious future battle with Israel and urged Arab and Islamic unity to support Egypt. Iraq rejected participation and Saudi-Syria positions were unclear. The document did not resolve calls for a conference of Arab leaders or key Gulf issues.
