is preparing a draft of its
own.
In Tel Aviv, a Defense
Nfinistry "think tank" head-

to an agreement with Egypt

Foreign Minister, Habib

Observers say the Tuni-

backed by the pro-Western

Broken 'Date' in 1972
BY MAURICE SAMUELSON
(Copyright 1977, Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, Inc.)
LONDON—When Presi-
dent Anwar Sadat of Egypt
was in Jerusalem and told
Golda Meir that he had
wanted to meet her for, a
long time, he was not just
making polite conversation.
He was referring to the dis-
cussions about a possible
encounter five years ago.
Mrs. Meir told part of the
story in her memoirs, "My
Life." Her official visit to
Bucharest, Romania in
May, 1972, followed infor-
mation that President Ni-
colae Ceausescu, who had
visited Sadat in Cairo, had
an urgent message which he
could only deliver to her in
person.
She spent two long ses-
sions, lasting 14 hours, with
Ceausescu. The Romanian
leader told her "that he
understood from Sadat him-_
self that the Egyptian
leader was ready to meet
with an Israeli—maybe with
me, maybe not. -
Mrs. Meir replied, "My
President, this is the best
news I have heard for many
years." There was no ques-
tion in his mind, she adds,
"that he was delivering an
historic and absolutely gen-
uine message. He even
talked to me about details."
Mrs. Meir adds : "After so
many years, it really looked
as though the ice was about
to break. But it didn't. When
I came back to Israel, we
waited and waited—in vain.
There was no follow-up at
all. Whatever Sadat had told
Ceausescu—and he had cer-
tainly told him something—
was totally meaningless.
and I suspect that the rea-
son I never heard anything
more from Ceausescu about
the meeting with Sadat was
that he couldn't bring him-
self to confess, even to me,
that Sadat had fooled him."
Until we have Sadat's side
Opponent Scorned
TEL AVIV (ZINS) — Is-
raeli Gen. Benjamin Peled,
who has just retired as Air
Force chief. is quoted as
saying that Israel's forces
have been superior to the
Arabs in weapons and train-
ing.
He added, however, that
the Arabs were inferior sol-
diers. "I would never wish
to exchange the foe, for
example, for Britishers or
Germans," he said.
of the story we shall not
know whether Mrs. Meir's
explanation is correct. One
reason for the lack of prog-
ress towards an Egyptian-
Israeli meeting may have
been the degree of specula-
tion aroused by her official
visit to Romania.
In her memoir, Mrs. Meir
wrote incorrectly that "as
far as the public and the
press—both in Israel and
Romania—were concerned,
this had been just a stand-
ard visit." In fact, the presS
in Israel and Egypt were
busily trying to discern the
hidden motives behind the
visit.
