According to some sources, Kissinger forecast a further escalation of fighting on the northern front, Egyptian intervention and Soviet involvement, 'According to informed sources, Kissinger encountered some willingness on the part of Syrian President Hafez Assad to consider a Suez-style buffer zone policed by the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) rather than the UN observers corps as the Syrians had insisted up to now. The Syrians were also reported prepared to agree to a POW exchange at the outset of disengagement. Kissinger was said to feel that some diplomatic formula could be worked out on "linkage" of disengagement to a final peace settlement that would satisfy both sides. But Syrian llexibUity was said to be conditional on Israel's acceptance of its territorial demands. Ofriclally, Israel remains adamant in its refusal to relinquish any territory save that captured in the Yom Kippur War last Oct. In recent days, however, there seemed to be a softening on the matter of Kuneitra. Stories appeared in the press pisying down Kuneitra'a military value. But the hills surrounding the town were said to be absolutely not negotiable in the Israeli view because they command all of the northern Golan Heights.

Such a government, representing a partnership between Labor, he Independent Liberal Party and the Civil Right Party appeared today to be Rabin's
only alternative unless he is prepared to report failure to President Ephraim Katzir and return his mandate. Rabin has only 10 more days in which to form a government. He hasrsaid he would not ask for an extension.
