For the moment, the news headlines continue to be dominated by events in the Middle East. With the rejection of the Camp David accords by the other Arab states to one degree or another, it looks more and more now that Egypt will proceed to sign a separate peace treaty with Israel. President Sadat is more or less committed to this course of action; he is an Egyptian nationalist first, a pan-Arabist second. Sadat has an "out" to the myth of Arab solidarity; he has told the other Arabs that they can join the peace process on their own timetable, according to the "Framework for Peace in the Middle East" he worked out with Israeli Prime Minister Begin. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
