l^el Holding Decisiip^ii Interim ArFangem^nts For Reopening Canal
JERUSALEM (JTA)-The Israel govemment is holding up its decision on interim arrangements for reopening the Suez Canal pending darificatioh.from the United States on the key matter of security guarantees for Israd, it was learned today. - SpecificaUy, Israel wants to know what steps will be taken to ensure that no Egyptian forces cross the watorway in the event that Israeli forces pull back any distance from the' canal's easttiank. Israel has thade it clear that it would never agree to an arrangement enabling Egyptian troops to
cross the canal. The extent of any Israeli pultback is one of the subjects under top level discussion here at the moment. It is believed howev.er that Israd will never unilaterally Withdraw its forces beyond a point whercihey would lose ef¬ fective control of the canal banks. The initiative for an
interim arrangement came from Washington. Israel refuses to risk another situation in which it would be presented with an Egyptian fait iaccompli. They bdieye that since Washington is anxious for some sort of arrangement to break the present political impasse in
the Mi|east, it must bear the burdof of providing iipn- dgd security guarantees fot Israd. Premiejr Golda Meir who has taken several days off for the Passover holiday, will preside^^ver the discussions latCT*this week from whidi a decision is expected to,emerge"
