The Soviet Union will support sanctions against Israel, if Israel troops do not withdraw from the Gaza and Akaba areas, a Moscow broadcast said today quoting an editorial from “Pravda,” organ of the Soviet Communist Party.

“Pravda” charged that the Israeli invasion of Egypt was “prepared on dollars lavishly provided by the United States.” The Communist organ asserted Israel’s seizure of the approach to the Gulf of Akaba is “the Eisenhower Doctrine in action.”
