Yigcd Allan Unveils Egyptian, Israeli Maps in Miami
Israeli and Egyptian maps, released for the first time in The Jewish Floridian, show
that "It was not Israel who was intransigent," according to Yigal Allori, Deputy Prime
Minister c* Israel, in his meetings with American leaders in major U.S. cities across the
nation last week.
In Miami, his first stop, Allon unveiled working! maps over which Israel Ambassa-
dor to the U.S. Simcha Dinitz had pored at a briefing meeting with fop-level American
officials in Washington.
THE MAPS were copies of the
concession? Israel offered and al-
so the "conclusions" Egypt of-
fered that ultimately led to the
breakdown in Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger's diplomatic
shuttle diplomacy between the
two countries.
The Israeli map (Page 4)
shows the proposed Israeli pull-
back from east of Port Said
through Gidi and Mitla. thence
along a southwesterly direction
(broken line) to Sudder on the
Gulf of Suez.
'This would give Egypt access
to the Abu Rodeis oil fitlds. now
occupied by Israel (shown en-
circled southeast of Suder and
Abu Zeneima).
EGYPT'S DEMAND shows a
general north-south line of with-
drawal for Israeli forces begin-
ning considerably east of the Is-
raeli proposalmuch closer to
El Arish. The line is also well
east of the Gidi and Mitla Passes
(encircled) and continues well
past Abu Rudeis toward E-Tur
on the Gulf of Suez.
'What the Egyptian govern-
ment is demanding," Allon de-
clared here and in the four other
major American Jewish commun-
ities he visited, "was to achieve
by negotiations what it has fail-
ed to do in four wars. We offer-
ed the Abu Rudeis oil fields,
which constitute 50 per cent of
our oil supply, and a route from
the Gulf of Suez to the. Suez Canal
itself."

"Our whole thrust in the ne-
gotiations was to be as flexible
as possible. We were willing to
take the initial step forward to-
ward a peace agreement with our
neighbors, and all we asked in

members to attend all or part of
the Florida Region's three-day

Sunday at the Dupont Plaza
Hotel in Miami.

raising workshops planned later

tivities workshop is scheduled

return for very tangible terri-
torial concessions was an indica-
tion by the Egyptians that an end
to the state of war could be
reached in the foreseeable fu-
ture."
According to Allon. Israel
made a secondary offer when it
became evident that Egypt was
not prepared to declare an end
to the state of war. This offer
include a movement to the east
of Israeli forces, turning over
half the strategic passes to
Egyptian control and permitting
the Egyptians to have civilian
administration of the Abu Rudeis
oil fields.
"WE HAVE an early warning
system within the Gidi and Mitla
Passes," said Allon. "We suggest-
ed that the Egyptians build an
early warning system within the
other half of the passes we
would turn over to them.
"Since both countries would
then have an early warning sys-
tem, it would preclude either na-
tion from initiating a surprise of-
fensive. In fact, this system of
early warning devices could mean
an end of hostilities in the Sinai."
According to Allon. the far-
reaching proposal made by Is-
rael, via Secretary of State Kis-
singer, a proposal that called for
Egyptian control of half of Sinai.
met with a general Egyptian un-
willingness to declare a state of
non-beligerency.
"We look to both Secretary of
State Kissinger and the United
States Government as the only
'mover' in the Mideast." said Al-
lon. "We are hopeful that
through the good offices of Sec-
retary Kissinger, that negotia-
tions can be resumed, negotia-
tions that Israel did not end, but
were terminated by Egypt."
"We have faced the realization
thatless than a generation af-
ter Hitler the Jewish people
continue to be vulnerable," said
Frank R. Lautenberg, national
UJA chairman.
"The Yom Kippur War was
more than a military conflict
it was a spiritual battle, for we
struggled together to reaffirm
our unity as one people in the

eva or a new shuttle on the
Potomac, reassessment or
no I am sure the Israelis
will hang on with great de-
termination to the idea that
they have a right to live as
a free people," declared
AFL-CIO President George
Meany.
"AND INSOFAR as I can speak
for American labor, Histadrut
and the people of Israel will have
the help and cooperation of
America's workers the same as
they have had since 1920."
Earlier in his address. Meany
said that Israel is "unique" in
that "it is the only nation I know
that is the creation of a free trade
unionthe Histadrut, or Israeli
Federation of Labor formed
more than 50 years ago by David
Ben Gurion."
Meany devoted his half-hour ad-
dress at a luncheon, of the AFL-
CIO's Maritime Trades Depart-
ment to foreign policy, criticiz-
ing the Nixon-Kissinger foreign
policy, urgng support of Israel,
and attacking Soviet performance
under detente.
He received a standing ovation
from the approximately 400 pres-
ent.
PAUL HALL, president of the
Seafarers International Union, de.
clared that "the oil companies
should buckle down because
we're going to give you a bad,
bad time," and Thomas W. Glea-
son, president of the Interna-
tional Longshorcmens Union, said
that should another Arab boycott
take place the union will "boy-
cott every' Russian and Soviet
satellite ship and stop shipment
of everything to them."
Speaking of detente, Meany
said that perhaps the most dis-
astrous policy sold to the
American people" by Secretary
of State Henry A. Kissinger and
former President Nixon "was
this thing called detente" and
that "nowhere in the world is
the policy of detente exposed as
a fraud to any greater degree
than in the Middle East."
"When we talk of intransi-
gence or lack of flexibility on the
part of the Israelis, we should
do so in the light of Israel's his-
tory," Meany said.
"We should keep in mind the
one over-riding desire of the Is-
raelis^the determination to re-
tain their sovereigntyin other
words, their simple determina-
tion to stay alive to resist ex-
termination. In return for the
right to live, the Israelis, I am
sure, are willing today have
been willing all alongto make
real, meaningful concessions."
