WITH Ben-Gurion preparing to withdraw from Egyptian soil, the world's eyes swung to another defier of U.N. resolutions, Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser, whose country since 1951 has ignored a U.N. resolution to let Israeli ships through the Suez Canal. Would Nasser now agree to final clearance of the canal and negotiate an acceptable contract for its operation?
