|
| |
President Carter's renewed declaration that he opposes the creation of an independent Palestinian state came as a shock to Egypt and added to the anxiety that had already developed over this country's dangerously exposed position in Middle East peace negotiations.If Carter comes here for talks, as White House officials say he may, he will find Egyptians, from clerks to generals, indignant and suspicious about the timing, if not the content of his remarks.Many...

|
| |
By traditional Middle East standards the odds against Syrian President Hafez Assad appear to be lengthening ominously.It's hardly surprising that Syrians note he's aged in recent photographs. For he's beset by a string of unsolved bomb explosions, political assassinations and other signs of public desaffection.His army is bogged down in unpopular occupation duty in Lebanon with no end in sight.
