ABSTRACT

I discussed in the previous chapter the international efforts to reconvene the Geneva Conference, stressing in particular the role of the United States and the Soviet Union. Enormous progress had been made, due in large part to the US insistence that all parties to the conflict go beyond rhetoric and put down concrete proposals for peace. Among these proposals were the two draft peace treaties submitted by Egypt and Israel. It is now time to examine in some detail these two documents, as well as the draft later submitted by the US as a compromise proposal.
