proaching an explosion point”
and accused U. N. cease-fire
observers of helping Israel’s
“aggressive policies.”
In Jerusalem, the Israeli
cabinet met to discuss Foreign
Minister Abba Eban’s plans in
virtually deadlocked Middle
East peace negotiations.
In London, diplomats said the
Soviet Union may try to force
reopening of the Suez Canal,
shut since the June 5-10, 1967
Middle East war.
Al Ahram, a semi official
newspaper which often reflects
the thinking ot the government
of President Gamal Abdel
Nasser, said:
“The obvious truth is that the
Middle East situation is again
approaching an explosion point
due to Israel’s insistence on her
aggressive policies and refusal
to accept a peaceful settlement
based on the (U.N.) Security
Council’s resolution (of Nov. 22,
1967).”
In London, Communist diplo
mats said the Soviets want the
Suez Canal reopened badly
enough that they might force
the issue.
The Soviets need the Canal to
get supplies to North Vietnam
more easily and as an outlet to
the Indian Ocean. Egypt has
said it will not reopen the canal
unless Israel withdraws from
the Sinai Peninsula and other
occupied Arab territories. Israe
li troops line most of the canal’s
east bank.
Western diplomats have spe
culated on the motives behind
the Soviets’ steadily increasing
Naval build-up in the Mediter
ranean.
