Egypt The Key

Settlement

ENVOYS MAKE REPORT

TO FOREIGN OFFICE

Middle East Discussions

London, June 23.

British Middle Eastern envoys told the Foreign Office today that prospects for à settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict were still remote and that the key to pacification lay with Egypt as one of the chief factors in Arab policies.

Anglo-Egyptian agreement on mutual problems and on overall Middle Eastern defence would have to pave any new move for a better- ment of Arab-Israeli relations, the envoys are reported to have said as they re-convened here today for their review of the Middle East situation with top level, Foreign Office officials.

It is their third meeting since the discussions oponed hore with the Foreign Secretary, Mr Anthony Eden, at the Old India Office Inst Thursday.

Today's discussions took place against a background of Press reports of a new Soviet warning to Egypt against participation in the West's projected Middle-Eastern Defence Command.
