3 Israeli Settlements On West Bank Approved
Joel Epstein, The Associated Press, Jerusalem
Transcribed from the clipping
“JERUSALEM (AP) — The government won final approval Tuesday for three new and potentially controversial Jewish settlements on the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River.
The go-ahead came one day before Egypt and Israel begin the next stage of peace negotiations… Israeli settlements — about 91 of them scattered across Arab territory captured by Israel in 1967 — are one of the key sticking points in the Egyptian-Israeli peace dialogue, begun by Egypt’s Anwar Sadat last November.
President Sadat has said ‘not a single Israeli’ can remain on Arab lands after peace. Israel’s Begin is equally adamant that the settlements will stay.”

A correction
Slide 11 captions this scan as the Houston Chronicle, 15 October 1980. It reports the foreign ministers’ conference opening in Jerusalem on 16 January and the start of Egyptian-Israeli talks, so it is the 1978 Los Angeles paper.
