Sorry but my memory was wrong in yesterday's post: I said: > Also, did you know that Israel offered to return all the occupied > territories to Egypt that were captured during the 67 war right after that > war ended in exchange for a recognition by Egypt of the right of Israel to > exist but Nasser turned that down too? > The correct version is: Israel offered in 67 to return the Sinai to Egypt and the Golan to Syria, but not Jerusalem and the west bank. The U.S. thought they could get Israel to give back more. So the U.S. together with the USSR drafted a peace plan proposal in which Israel would return 100% of the territories captured in 67 in exchange for a recognition of the right of Israel to exist and submitted it to Egypt. Nasser turned down that proposal. > > Laurent
