*Israel - Arab States: Israeli Defense Minister Da-
yan's announcement yesterday that steps will be taken
to turn the Gaza. Strip into a part of Israel increases the
pressure on Egypt and the other Arab states to negotiate
a settlement.
By moving toward formal annexation of the area, Is-
rael, as it did in Jerusalem, is confronting the Arabs
with the possibility of permanent absorption of occupied
territories if they do not agree to discuss the future sta-
tus of these areas. The Israelis had earlier indicated
that separation of the Palestinian Gaza Strip from Egyp-
tian control--it formerly was not part of Egypt proper
but was "administered" by Cairo--would be one of their
primary objectives in any postwar settlement.
The Gaza Strip's population of 400,000 includes more
than 300,000 refugees from the 1948 Palestine War. Da-
yan, in his announcement, said that beginning next week
Gaza inhabitants will be allowed to move freely inside Is-
rael under permits granted by the military government,
and that there will be regular transportation to and from
the town of Gaza. A curfew will remain in effect. Dayan
earlier had approached United Nations authorities about
transferring some of the Gaza refugees to evacuated UN
camps on Jordan's West Bank.
The fact that Dayan, and not the Israeli Foreign Min-
istry, made the announcement appears to be a further in-
dication of his prominence within the Israeli cabinet.
While he presumably is speaking for the government, his
position on the future of occupied territories has been
noticeably tougher than Foreign Minister Eban's. Prime
Minister Eshkol, for his part, reportedly has been upset
over Dayan's penchant for publicity and for taking action
in certain instances without checking with him first.
In Jordan, Prime Minister Juma yesterday publicly
reiterated his government's determination to regain con-
trol of the West Bank. The day before, Juma had told the
US charge d'affaires privately that, while two weeks ago

there had been some talk on the West Bank of creating a
separate political entity through independent Palestinian
negotiations with Israel, only a few Palestinian leaders
now were willing to support this concept.
The last governor of Jordanian Jerusalem has ex-
pressed his disillusionment about prospects for such
negotiations, according to the US Consulate General in
Jerusalem. The ex-governor said he had changed his
opinion after observing Israel's administration of the
Jordanian sector. F_ I

*United Nations: Attempts are still being made to
retrieve something positive from the General Assem-
bly's emergency session on the Middle East, which
recessed last night until 12 July.
Before the assembly reconvened yesterday, Soviet
Ambassador Dobrynin approached Ambassador Gold-
berg and suggested a 48-hour break to allow another ef-
fort to find a compromise between the two defeated res-
olutions. Dobrynin was told that the chances for agree-
ment on anything much beyond a procedural proposal
did not seem very great.
Several of the area groups which have been active
during the session also met privately yesterday to con-
sider the possibilities for some more constructive out-
come. One idea reportedly advanced is a Swedish pro-
posal that the assembly reaffirm previous cease-fire
resolutions and take some step leading to the appoint-
ment of a UN representative in the Middle East.
The last-ditch efforts--which may or may not be
successful--are evidently being encouraged by a variety
of considerations. The US Mission believes the Soviets
fully realize they suffered a severe setback in this week's
voting and are chastened by it. There evidently is also
considerable concern in New York that the UN has been
hurt both .by the bitter debate and by the lack bf useful
results.
Arab moderates have reportedly also been warning
that they will be in.a poor position to cope with pressure
from the radicals-- even advancing the argument that
they will be better off if the UN requests the Arab coun-
tries to carry out some specific action.

Congo (Kinshasa): The widespread and perhaps
coordinated outbreaks of mutiny in eastern Congo
could be almost impossible for the Mobutu govern-
ment to combat.
White mercenaries and Katangan troops who mu-
tinied on 5 July quickly gained control of Bukavu after
only sporadic fighting. The mutinous soldiers seem
to be friendly toward the local civilian population and
foreigners; no Americans have been injured although
evacuation plans are being made. Congolese Govern-
ment reports indicate that Congolese National Army
units in Kisangani (formerly Stanleyville) also are
under attack and are not doing well. Communications
with Punia, K:indu, Goma, and Shabunda are out, and
these cities may have been taken.
The Mobutu regime will find it very difficult to re-
gain control. The army has few capable units in the
eastern Congo, and it is doubtful if any of these would
be willing to move against the mercenaries. Further-
more, the army has no means to transport troops
rapidly in any numbers.
The background of the mutiny is not known, but
it may have been triggered by the recent kidnaping of
former Premier Tshomb6, who still is detained in
Algiers. A mercenary officer in Bukavu told the Amer-
ican consul that the mutiny had been planned in ad-
vance and that the mutineers would soon be joined by
Tshomb6's own forces. These troops, the mercenary
said, are to arrive from outside the country momen-
tarily, but these claims have not been confirmed.

Communist China - Burma: Peking is maintain-
ing its pressure against Burma in the aftermath of
anti-Chinese riots in Rangoon.
On the diplomatic front, China continues its ef-
forts to offset last week's humiliation of Chinese in
Rangoon at the hands of Burmese demonstrators. On
4 July, Peking asked Rangoon to permit Chinese air-
craft to take Overseas Chinese injured in the riots
back to China for medical treatment. The Foreign
Ministry repeated earlier demands that Rangoon pub-
licly apologize to the Chinese Government and pre-
vent the recurrence of anti-Chinese incidents.
For the first time in many years, Peking's prop-
aganda is proclaiming support for the Burmese Com-
munist party's struggle against the "reactionary" Ne
Win regime. This propaganda may be backed up by
small- scale material and financial support for the
Burmese Communist forces, but it is unlikely that
Peking will go much beyond this effort.

Korea: The continuing high level of Communist
armed harassment of South Korea probably is intended
to aggravate political tensions in the South and to ex-
pand future subversive activity there.
The domestic opposition to President Pak Chong-
hui's government has claimed that sending Korean
troops to Vietnam endangers South Korea's security.
Pyongyang may believe that armed harassment will
strengthen critics of Pak and discourage the deploy-
ment of additional South Korean troops to Vietnam.
.North Korean armed reconnaissance and probing
activities in the area of the Demilitarized Zone have
risen sharply this year. Most of the incidents have
been concentrated in the US sector of the DMZ, but in
the last few weeks attacks against South Korean per-
sonnel have risen. Growing South Korean losses could
provoke military commanders to retaliate, despite
UN Command orders against such action.
In addition, Pyongyang has stepped up the infiltra-
tion of agents into the South. As many as 60 heavily
armed men in nine teams are believed to be operating
in remote eastern and southern areas of South Korea.
Their mission is to recruit Communist sympathizers
and to establish operational bases for future guerrilla
activity. Information from captured agents and de-
fectors shows that Pyongyang has expanded and im-
proved its agent training program and is capable of
turning out about 500 agents annually.
The South Koreans have organized special mobile
teams to deal with the situation. Some 10,000 mili-
tary and civilian security personnel are involved in
efforts to track down and destroy those agent teams
already active in the country.

France: The rigid French position on safeguards
is raising new obstacles to the nonproliferation treaty.
Paris has made it clear that it will not become a
party to any EURATOM arrangements with the Inter-
national Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regarding the
application of safeguards. The French say they will
not object if any of the other five members enter into
bilateral arrangements with IAEA for acceptance of
safeguards, but will not accept EURATOM jurisdiction
in this matter.
France also will not accept IAEA inspection of any
facilities on French territory, including those owned
by EURATOM or owned jointly by France and another
EURATOM member.
Paris thus appears to be obliging the Five to choose
between the IAEA system and the EURATOM system.
Confronted with such a choice, the Germans and others
would be more reluctant to sign the nonproliferation
treaty.

Britain-Aden: The British Army's recapture of
part of Aden's Crater district should ease tensions
and give London more time to try to get dissident
groups into a transitional government. The operation
was nearly bloodless, suggesting the existence of an
agreement between the British and leaders of the
South Arabian Army and the police, whose loyalty has
been in question. British officials also may finally
have made contact with leaders of one or both of the
major Aden nationalist groups, whom the British
want to bring into a new government.
Mexico: Elections last Sunday for seven state
governorships and the lower house of congress gave
the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) its tradi-
tional overwhelming victory. Early official returns
show the PRI winning even in the border state of
Sonora, where popular opposition to the ruling party
candidate resulted in military intervention in May.
The opposition National Action Party, which cam-
paigned vigorously in Sonora in the hope of attracting
the disaffected PRI vote, is claiming fraud
