just and durable peace according to the provisions of Security Council
Resolution 338 of October 22, 1973.

     They are determined to reach a final and just peace settlement by means
of negotiations called for by Security Council Resolution 338, this Agreement
being a significant step towards that end.

     The Parties hereby undertake not to resort to the threat or use of force
or military blockade against each other.

ARTICLE III

     The Parties shall continue scrupulously to observe the cease fire on
land, sea and air and to refrain from all military or para-military actions
against each other.

     The Parties also confirm that the obligations contained in the Annex and,
when concluded, the Protocol shall be an integral part of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

     A. The military forces of the Parties shall be deployed in accordance
with the following principles:

     (1) All Israeli forces shall be deployed east of the lines designated as
Lines J and M on the attached map.

     (4) The limitations on armaments and forces in the areas described by
paragraph (3) above shall be agreed as described in the attached Annex.

     (5) The zone between the lines designated on the attached map as Lines E
and J, will be a buffer zone. In this zone the United Nations Emergency Force
will continue to perform its functions as under the Egyptian-Israeli Agreement
on January 18, 1974.

     (6) In the area south from Line E and west from Line M, as defined in the
attached map, there will be no military forces, as specified in the attached
Annex.

     B. The details concerning the new lines, the redeployment of the forces
and its timing, the limitation on armaments and forces, aerial reconnaissance,
the operation of the early warning and surveillance installations and the use
of the roads, the United Nations functions and other arrangements will all be
in accordance with the provisions of the Annex and map which are an integral
part of this Agreement and of the Protocol which is to result from
negotiations pursuant to the Annex and which, when concluded, shall become an
integral part of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

     The United Nations Emergency Force is essential and shall continue its
functions and its mandate shall be extended annually.

ARTICLE VI

     The Parties hereby establish a Joint Commission for the duration of this
Agreement. It will function under the aegis of the Chief Coordinator of the
United Nations Peacekeeping Missions in the Middle East in order to consider
any problem arising from this Agreement and to assist the United Nations
Emergency Force in the execution of its mandate. The Joint Commission shall
function in accordance with procedures established in the Protocol.

ARTICLE VII

     Non-military cargoes destined for or coming from Israel shall be
permitted through the Suez Canal.

agreement within the framework of the Geneva Peace Conference in accordance
with Security Council Resolution 338.
