1:34:46
I called you back from the desert...
1:34:48
...because things are not going well.
1:34:53
The Egyptian tanks have been stopped.
You've got Jaffa, Haifa, Acre.
1:34:58
Don't worry. Things aren't so bad.
1:35:00
Mickey, there's been a disaster.
Terrible disaster.
1:35:05
The Arab Legion has moved
into the fortress of Latrun...
1:35:08
...and cut the only supply road
to Jerusalem.
1:35:11
The Arab Legion?
1:35:12
Our boys tried to break through yesterday
and were slaughtered like cattle.
1:35:15
The wheat fields
are irrigated with their blood.
1:35:18
That's a real defense minister speech.
Now, what happened?
1:35:21
Hardly any artillery, not enough men...
1:35:24
...but most important,
no centralized leadership.
1:35:27
You're right. We have no high command.
We have a committee.
1:35:31
You know about the cease-fire?
1:35:34
The United Nations requested
a general truce...
1:35:37
...effective the morning of June 11.
1:35:39
Did you accept it?
1:35:42
We don't want to see any more bloodshed
on either side.
1:35:46
I bet the Arabs have accepted.
1:35:49
They know you can't break through
to Jerusalem in that time.
1:35:51
When the cease-fire comes,
the lines will be frozen.
1:35:54
The city will have to surrender
or be starved to death.
1:35:58
We have two weeks.
1:35:59
- Less.
- But we've been over all this.
