JERUSALEM (JTA)—Israeli leaders have taken a grave view of
the Nov. 6 overflight of the Sinai peninsula by two Soviet MIG-23s. De-
fense Minister Moshe Dayan said at the cabinet meeting Sunday that the
overflight was clearly intended to impress upon both Israel and Egypt
that it is the Russians who hold the real military power in the Middle East.
Israeli sources claimed that the overflights dealt a severe blow to
the American argument that Israel retains substantial air superiority over
the Arabs despite continuing Soviet deliveries of aircraft to Egypt. They
said it amounted to a direct intervention by the Russians in the Mid East,
more serious than the Soviet presence inside Egypt. The MIG-23, known
as the Foxbat, is the fastest, highest-flying fighter plane in the world. A
pair of them, obviously piloted by Russians, covered some 200 miles in
less than three minutes over the heart of Israel-occupied Sinai. Their flight
path took-them from a point west of El Arish on the Mediterranean coast
to.R.as Sudar on the Red Sea. It lay about 100 -miles east of the Suez Canal.
The planes, spotted on Israeli radar, were flying at an altitude of 70,000
feet and a supersonic speed of Mach 2.5. That speed and altitude are
beyond the maximum capabilities of the American F-4 Phantoms in the
Israel-Air Force.
Israeli interceptors were sent up but were unable to make contact
with the Russian jets. Israeli sources said the flights must have been plan-

ned and approved by the highest Soviet authorities. The incident was re-
garded as far more serious than the one on Oct. 10 when two MIG-23s
skirted the Israeli coast off Ashkelon and came within the control radius
of the Lydda Airport traffic tower but did not actually violate Israeli air-
space-

-From their altitude the MIGs were able to photograph Israeli posi-
tions not only in the Sinai but in the southern portions of Israel proper.
The sources said the Russians were seeking to prove to the Arabs that they
were prepared to assume functions other than advisory and defensive.
Some sources said Moscow may have decided on the demonstration in view
of the entry of its great rival, China, into the international political arena.
They recalled that the Oct. 10 MIG-23 flight was timed to coincide with
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's departure for Moscow.
Israelis said that if there is renewed anxiety in Jerusalem there should

Possible; Conditions
Listed by Mrs. Meir

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Premier Golda
Meir on Tuesday said that her govern-

ment was prepared to pull back Israeli
forces from the Suez Canal, provided
such a move was approved by the
Knesset, but was not prepared to permit
Egyptian troops to occupy the evacuated
zone and would not resume talks an an
interim agreement before the United
States meets several Israeli conditions,
including an undertaking to resume the

supply of Phantom jets. Addressing a
press club luncheon' here. Mrs. Meir said
these points were made clear in dis-
cussions with the'U.S. She did not name
the American officials with whom the
discussions were held but it appeared
from the context of her remarks that
she was referring to her talk last week
with U.S. Ambassador Walworth Bar-
bour in which Foreign Minister Abbe
Eban participated. Foreign Ministry
sources said Israel had not yet received
the "clarification" of the U.S. position.
Mrs. Meir pointedly rejected the term
"interim agreement"' for a deal to re-
open the Suer, Canal.
