I understand the extreme political sensitivity in America of using persuasion on the Israelis, but it is important to remember that none of the actions toward peace would involve an encroachment on the sovereign territory of Israel. They all involve lands of the Egyptians, Lebanese and Palestinians, as recognized by international law.

Can someone explain what this means? What is he talking about when he mentions the "lands of the Egyptians and the Lebanese?"

Carter may have his geography confused. Maybe he confuses Lebanan with Syria. And the Gaza Strip with Eqypt.
