Nixon: There is a serious situation in the Middle East. It has developed into
something tougher than the Israelis anticipated.
Kissinger: The Israelis were caught with their pants down – unmobilized.
Nixon: The Israeli tank losses have been extremely heavy. We won’t violate the

Kissinger: If the Arabs start to win, all the Arabs will jump in. Israel has suffered the
equivalent of 100,000 killed.
Nixon: We will not let Israel go down the tube.
