LBJ missed Nasser's overtures for peace in '67
By Amir Oren
Ha'aretz Correspondent
A decade before Anwar Sadat's peace initiative, and along similar
lines, his predecessor Gamal Abdel Nasser sent a secret message to
President Lyndon Johnson, offering non-belligerence and an exchange
of ambassadors with Israel in return for resumed U.S. relations with
Egypt and "just and adequate compensation" for Palestinian refugees.
But the Johnson administration, nudged into inaction by jealous State
Department officials, rebuffed the feeler.
This startling revelation is included in the latest batch of
declassified documents in the Foreign Relations of the United States
series, released by the State Department yesterday and focusing on
the Arab- Israeli dispute, 1967-68.
From the American government's own documents, it turns out that
following his defeat in the Six-Day War, the Arab summit conference
at Khartoum in September, and acceptance of Security Council
Resolution 242 in November, Nasser set out in December 1967 to
establish a private back-channel to Johnson, bypassing the Egyptian
Foreign Ministry and probably his Soviet minders.
Failing to enlist then-treasury secretary Robert Anderson, who for a
while tried to mediate between him and David Ben-Gurion in the
1950's, Nasser conveyed his message through U.S. attorney James
Birdsall. State Department bureaucrats tried to block Birdsall's
invitation to the Oval Office, but Johnson was prevailed upon by his
National Security Advisor to see him, to hear out Nasser's message.
However, following that meeting, bureaucracy managed to delay any
further action.
In January 1968, after the Tet offensive in Vietnam and his dismal
showing against Senator Eugene McCarthy in the New Hampshire primary,
LBJ announced his withdrawal from the presidential race.
Israel and Egypt sank into a war of attrition, followed by Nasser's
death, Soviet military involvement, and the 1973 war, before Sadat's
feeler was accepted by prime minister Menachem Begin.
"When a Jew, in America or in South Africa, talks to
his Jewish companions about 'our' government, he means the
government of Israel."
