USSR - Middle East: Moscow has increased its
efforts to dissuade the US from giving Israel ad-
ditional military aircraft.
A Pravda article on 26 February, citing a recent
CBS news report that Washington's decision was positive,
charged that this was intended to prepare world opinion
for a new arms deal that will "whip up the flames of
conflict" in the Middle East. The author also asserted
that the US is using the protective shield of propaganda
surrounding the crash of a Swissair jetliner as the
prelude to announcing officially that it would supply
new weapons to Israel. The tone of the article, a
highly unusual reaction by the Soviets to a news report
on such a sensitive matter, marks another Moscow effort
to forestall a US decision to supply Israel with ad-
ditional aircraft.
Moscow's uncompromising public stand on the Middle
East has been accompanied by additional evidence that
the Soviets are re pared to give the Arabs new arms
supplies.
