Egyptian diplomats are “ecstatic” about President Anwar Sadat’s proposed trip to Israel, an Egyptian Embassy official told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency today. “They are immensely pleased and absolutely delighted,” the official added. Meanwhile, both the Egyptian and Israeli Embassies have been swamped by inquiries by each other’s reporters.
Despite Premier Menachem Begin’s readiness to cancel his London trip to receive Sadat, preparations continue to go ahead for the Israeli Premier’s arrival here on Sunday. Dan Pattir, the Premier’s spokesman, has been here for the past 24 hours making arrangements for press coverage of the visit.
