Israel Reported Willing To Withdraw Borders JERUSALEM (JTA)—Israel is planning to inform Egypt shortly that It is fully ready to withdraw to "secure and agreed borders" within the framework of a peace settlement. A new note is being drafted by Premier Golda Meir and Foreign Minister .Abba Eban which contains the word "withdrawal." The note will be given to United Nations mediator Gunnar V. Jarring to be conveyed to Cairo. It will represent Israel's reply to the latest Egyptian note and is intended to refute Cairo's contention that Israel refuses to accept the principle of withdrawal and is bent on ex-, panslon. The Cabinet authorized the Premier and the Foreign Minister to draft the reply jointly. The new Israeli note will also' seek clarification on several points. One of them will be whether Egypt's offer of freedom of navigation through international waterways refers specifically to Israeli shipping.or to "all states in the region," a formula with which Israel has had poor experience in the past. The Government will also insist on "quiet diplomacy," meaning no leaks to news media of the content of notes exchanged in the Jarring talks.
