Riley, chief of the UN Mixed
Armistice Commission, that Israel
had no right to begin drainage
pending settlement of the border
dispute.
. Gen. Riley, in a memorandum
to the UN, had stated that all
former agreements between Israel
and Syria concerning the demili-
tarized zone of the Huleh area
were invalid , because Israel had
Violated them.
An Israeli note was delivered
Monday to Col. Bennett de Bid-
der, acting chief of the United
Nations observers.
In it Israel stated that the
"whole Syrian army is now con-
centrated on the Israeli border"
and requested that these forces
be withdrawn.
. Speaking for his country, Faris
el-Khoury, Syrian delegate to the
UN, quoted reports of United Na-
tions representatives on the
Scene.
He said that it was incorrect,
in the Israeli charges, to describe
the demilitarized zone between
the two countries as Israeli terri-
tory.
Syrian troops occupied this
land, he said, until withdrawn to
make way for the demilitarized
zone.
El-Khoury recounted the his-
tory of the dispute, beginning in
February with Israeli operations
