The U.S.
Congress thwarts major arms sales to Jordan and
opposes a “reassessment” by the Ford
Administration over Israel’s refusal to withdraw
from Sinai.
A U.S.-Israel bi-lateral agreement on strategic
cooperation is signed by U.S. Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger.
Led by the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan,
then U.S. Representative to the United Nations,
the U.S. government forcefully opposes a U.N.
resolution equating Zionism with racism. The leadership
of black, labor, and Christian organizations,
along with major American interest groups, also
rush to Israel’s defense.
