On the eve of the second round of peace talks between Israel and Egypt at Camp David in the United States, Israel's "Peace Now" movement met at the Ram Hotel in Jerusalem on Monday (19 February). Knesset members of all parties were in the audience and several spoke at the meeting.

SYNOPSIS: More than three hundred "Peace Now" members and sympathisers at the meeting were told by one of the organiser, Zalli Reshef, they had to find ways to show the movement's support for the Camp David talks and any such talks in the future. Flexibility must be the keynote, he said, to bring them to a successful conclusion as speedily as possible.

But Several Knesset members said any Israeli concessions must be made with the nations's security in mind. Egypt was reproached for demanding new concessions from Israel while refusing to make any herself. The meeting ended with a statement from a `Peace Now" organiser.
