On Monday the Carter
Administration formally
unveiled an arms package
for Egypt that would make
the government in Cairo a
U.S. military surrogate in
the Middle East according
to analysts here.
Two weeks ago, the
State Department said
that it was providing $1.5
billion to Egypt in arms
credits, in the fiscal year
starting Oct. 1, and is con-
templating an addi-
tional $800 million in the
following fiscal year. the
operational program, it
is understood, is to
spread at least $4 billion
over five years to Egypt.
This figure could be con-
siderably increased if
Egypt should receive
F-15 aircraft starting
probably next year.
The decision to arm Egypt
to an extent unprecedented
represents a policy shift
that fits into the "Carter
Middle East Doctrine" as a
.result of the upheavals in
the Middle East, in Iran and
Afghanistan.
Independent sources said
that Egypt's acquisition
under the new arms pro-
gram means that the Mid-
dle East balance with Israel
able to defend itself against
Arab adversaries on its bor-
ders will no longer prevail.
The military balance be-
tween Israel and its
neighbors is being altered,
these sources indicated,
since Egypt's acquisition of
the most advanced Ameri-
can weapons means that the
qualitiative advantage that
Israel needs to meet a com-
bined onslaught is deter-
iorating.
But Ephraim Evron, Is-
rael's ambassador to the
U.S., cautioned American
Jews not to regard
Israeli-American rela-
tions as being eroded and
expressed "our
Israel Olympic
Unit Undecided
TEL AVIV — The Israel
Olympic Committee will
make no decision for the
time being on whether or
not to boycott the Olympic
Games in Moscow this
summer, its chairman It-
zhak Offek said Tuesday.
He said that Israel will con-
tinue its "wait-and-see" pol-
icy although the United
States has announced that
it will not participate in the
tames. An Israeli decision
is expected in April.
Sugar Increase
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Is-
raelis with a sweet tooth got
bitter news last week.
Sugar, which sold at IL 29.5
per kilogram Sunday was
priced at IL 35.5 two days
later (approximately 90
cents for two pounds). The
sharp hike was attributed to
a sudden rise on the London
sugar market. Last year,
sugar was selling in Israel
at IL 11 per kilogram.
gratitude" to President
"Carter for his part in
achieving the Egyptian-
Israeli peace.
Addressing a Tuesday
breakfast session of the
young UJA, Evron advised,
"Let's be more objective
when we face various is-
sues" involving Israel and
the U.S. He noted that a
question had been put to
him as to "How far has ero-
sion between the U.S. and
Israel gone?" He said,
"When I didn't respond in
an affirmative manner, I
was criticized because I
didn't buy this idea that
there has been an erosion."
Evron recalled that de-
spite President Truman's
recognition of Israel as a
state in 1948, Truman also
had taken steps contrary to
Israel's positions. "Had
there been an erosion in
Truman's position?" the Is-
raeli envoy asked.
