The talks have been mediated by the U.S. voice-verified

President Jimmy Carter. voice-verified

And as a member of Carter's National Security Council and an expert on the Middle East, William has been integral to these negotiations. voice-verified

But they haven't been straightforward. voice-verified

It took months of careful diplomacy just to get the two leaders here. voice-verified

But after the first days of the summit, Sadat and Begin refused to be in the same room as each other. voice-verified

Even though there are no Palestinians at the talks, Sadat has insisted on addressing the future of Gaza and the West Bank alongside bilateral relations between Israel and Egypt. voice-verified

But for Begin, talk of territorial withdrawal and any language that might lead to Palestinian statehood raised profound security and ideological concerns. voice-verified

So the American hosts have to go from cabin to cabin, drafting terms with one party, presenting them to the other, and then returning with objections. voice-verified

This has slowed progress to a crawl, but at least it's avoided a blow-up that might sink the entire summit. voice-verified

And now, after 12 days, the two sides have agreed on several broad points. voice-verified

But there are still major stumbling blocks, Israeli settlements in Sinai and the future of Palestine. voice-verified

Sadat demands the complete end of Israeli presence in the Sinai and a firm timetable for Palestinian autonomy. voice-verified

But Begin has ruled out both. voice-verified

William has already drafted a speech for President Carter, blaming the breakdown of the talks on Begin's refusal to budge. voice-verified

But Carter is reluctant to use it, still hoping that some form of a deal can be struck. voice-verified

Stubbing out his cigarette, William is jolted from his thoughts by the cabin's phone ringing. voice-verified

It's his boss, National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski. voice-verified

There's just been a meeting between the president and the Israelis, and there's hope for a breakthrough. voice-verified

After strongly resisting the idea of removing Israeli settlements from the Sinai, Begin has agreed that he will put their fate to a vote in the Israeli parliament. voice-verified
