JERUSALEM   (WNS)   -
The Israeli Cabinet urged
Egypt Apr. 2 to reconsider
its rejection of Israel's request tthat the joint political
and military talks be resumed.   However,   Cabinet
Secretary Aryeh Naor,  in
briefing ' newsmen after a
three-hour meeting, refused
to say that Defense Minister
Ezer  Weizman's  meetings
with   Egyptian   President
Anwar Sadat in Cairo Mar.
30-31  had  been a  failure.
Weizman, meanwhile' is expected to return to Egypt
soon at Sadat's invitation.
Sadat, in an interview in the
Egyptian  weekly  October,
said   that   "Direct, talks
between us will always continue .. . Peace is difficult,
but it is not impossible." He
told the magazine that Weizman had come to Cairo to
"break the stalemate." But
the ■ Egyptian   President
stressed   that   the   gap
between the two countries
"must   be   narrowed   to
achieve peace. This will not
■tead" to "despair. We-have'
achieved a lot and more will
be   achieved."   Sadat   appeared to be appealing to the
Israeli people over the .head
of Premier Menachem Begin
whom he described as "an
old fashioned politician." He
said, "It is up to the Israel
people to find what is better
for them to achieve, the
peace desired by all of us."
The Cabinet .meeting was
held as a ministerial security meeting .which means its
deliberations are classified.
The government continues to
believe that the political and
military committee talks
agreed to by Sadat and
Begin at their Christmas
Day meeting in Ismailia are
still the most active way to
achieve progress, Naor told
newsmen. He said the committees allowed the two
sides to deal with-specific issues while summit meetings
tended ' to be limited to
broader matters.
Weizman had, however,
sounded optimistic when he
addressed Her'ut's young
guard at Kfar Hamaccabiah
Mar. 31 shortly after he returned from Egypt."My visit
to Cairo was not the last
one," he declared. "There
will be more m'eetinjgs, I assure you that." He said that
he did not deviate in the
slightest from the government guidelines in his talks
with. Sadat  and  Egyptian
War Minister Mohammed
Gamassy. "Much patience is
needed because the process
is a long one," he stressed.
Weizman promised that
Israel would stand by its demands that are vital to for its
security andsurvival. Both
