Situation that had to be manipulated: the American airlift to Israel during the Yom Kippur war / Gutfeld, Arnon; Vanetik, Boaz

Vanetik, Boaz	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

Nobody believed that Israel was in any kind of mortal danger whatever. Hurt, yes; frightened, yes. It was pretty quickly clear that what we had to have out of this war was no unchallenged victor and no humiliated loser, and we all agreed. I don't think anyone in that operation [US State Department Center] could ever believe that we had anything but a situation that had to be manipulated.
