According to the Wash-
ington correspondent for
Yediot Achronot, Kissinger
told him that he feared U.S.
weakness in' Angola would
harm Israel in the long run.
The Soviets, Kissinger said,
would deduce from Ameri-
ca's failure—if there was a
failure—to stand firm in
Angola that they could force
concessions elsewhere in the
world, specifically in 'the

Middle East.
The Yediot Achronot cor-
respondent reported'that
Kissinger told him "The

Security Council is a junior
league compared to the dan-
gers for Israel in the Angola
affair."
