Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat had promised to sell

But Modai told the Knesset

was "only a vague and
generalized oral commit-

not enough. He warned that

raised the price of its oil
to about $32 per barrel,
up from $18.50. Modai

that Cairo may use it as a
bargaining point in polit-
ical negotiations with Is-

Modai said he was
gratified that the agree-
ment with Egypt at least
provides for the sale of oil to
Israel "on a continuous
basis." Meanwhile, gasoline
lines formed all over Israel
Tuesday night in anticipa-
tion of a major price in-
crease. Motorists rushed to
fill their tanks after learn-
ing that the Cabinet had
gone into emergency ses-
sion to discuss economic pol-
icy which could mean an
imminent end to price s -
sidies on basic commodi
including fuel.
Following the end of oil
supplies from Iran, Israel
has increased her purchases
froM Mexico, which now
covers a great part of Is-
rael's energy needs. But a
third of Israel's fuel comes
from "changing and tem-
porary" sources, which may
be closed any day.
Modai also complained
that the country was short
of fuel storage capacity. He
said no progress was being
made at all on the proposal
for a nuclear generating
facility. Committee chair-
man Moshe Arens called for
an immediate decision to
build the first nuclear
power station. Israel pos-
sesses all the manpower and
the technologies required,
he said.
