The international panel arbitrating Israeli-Egyptian boundary disputes reconvened here Monday following the Passover-Easter recess to hear the final arguments of both countries.

Israel and Egypt will each have two days to sum up their cases, completing the process that began last year. The arbitrators will then adjourn to deliberate and write their final report, which is expected to take several months.

The panel’s judgment will be binding on both parties. It will settle disputed claims to 14 sites along the Israeli-Sinai border, the most important of which is ownership of the half-mile-square Taba resort region on the Red Sea.
