Israeli soldiers at a remote position in Sinai, near Ras Sudar on the Gulf of Suez, were surprised recently to see a group of uniformed Egyptian soldiers without weapons approaching them.

The Israelis gave them bread, potatoes and margarine and the Egyptians left with blessings and hope for peace.
