Sadat Says: Meir Says:
NEWS IN CAPSULE
The Road To Mecca Is Rough For Israeli Arabs
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Sheikh Mohammed Ali el Jaabari, the
Mayor of Hebron, is still trying to get King Faisal's permission for
Israeli Moslems to make the pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
Jaabari’s announcement last week that the Saudian monarch had
granted permission was denied by the latter. Jaabari has since sent
NEW YORK - Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat said he
has accepted a proposal from the
United States to hold
“proximity” peace talks with
Israel in a New York hotel.----
He said he did so despite the
fact that he believes the United
States had misled him four times
in the last eight months about
Washington's peace efforts and
had shattered his confidence in
them.
Sadat said that under the
“proximity” plan, Egyptian and
Israeli delegates would occupy
nearby hotel rooms and
Assistant Secretary of State
Joseph Sisco would shuttle
between them as “an active
mailman.”
Sadat said in a Newsweek
magazine interview that U.S.
officials told him the plan has
not yet been proposed to Israel,
but that he has already named
Minister of State Muhad Ghaleb
as his negotiator.
LATEST MOVE
Egyptian authorities are
evacuating women from Port

other frontline communities in

resumption of hostilities” with

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5
(JTA) - Premier Golda Meir of
Israel told a nationwide
television audience today that
her government is “prepared to
go back within one hour" to
United Nations mediator Gunnar
V. Jarring’s Middle East peace
mission, but “without
pre-conditions" from either
Israel or its Arab neighbors.”
Mrs Meir appeared on the
NBC program “Meet the Press”
where she was subjected to
extraordinary sharp questioning
by a panel of four newsmen
“We don’t commit ourselves to
anything without negotiations,"
she declared. "We put no
conditions to the Egyptians and
never have put one," Mrs Meir
said.
Asked by syndicated
columnist Rowland Evans
whether resumption of
American deliveries of Phantom
jets to Israel would not mean
that the US was underwriting
Israel’s occupation of the Sinai,
Mrs. Meir replied sharply,
“Maybe you should ask your
President." She observed that
President Nixon has said “over
and over again" that the military
balance in the Middle East
should not be upset.
It was learned meanwhile that
