The key to a Middle East settlement lies in Moscow not in Washington, and Moscow is apparently committed to the policies of Cairo, Foreign Minister Abba Eban reportedly told members of the Labor-Alignment in the Knesset yesterday.

Mr. Eban said that Soviet-Egyptian cooperation is being followed up by the dispatch of a senior Egyptian delegation to Moscow to seek further Soviet arms supplies.
