ISSUES: IRONTON THE NATION THE WORLD Unlike previous Arab-lsraeli wars, the 1973 war affected us directly. The Arabs, in order to put diplomatic pressure on Israel, placed an oil em- bargo on any nation not supporting them. Although many nations gave in to the Arab demands, the United States continued her policy of support towards Israel. During the early days of the war Syria, Egypt, and especially Israel suf- fered heavy tank, plane, and personal losses. Then Israel, in one of the most savage tank battles in history, trapped an Egyptian force east of Suez and occupied a large area west of the ca- nal. At this time, the American armed forces were put on alert because of possible Soviet intervention. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger then almost single-handedly initiated peace talks, convincing the Egyptians to pull back forces and the Israelis to withdraw from the Canal. As of March, the oil embargo was still in effect.
