Israel Charges Riley's Report
With dermining UN Authority
Direct J rA Teletype Wires to The Jewish \ News
TEL AVIV—Official quarters here have ex-
pressed surprise and indignation over the report by
Maj. Gen. William -Riley, UN Armistice Chief, to the
United Nations, on Egyptian complaints alleging that
Israel forces had driven 4,000 Arab Bedouins into
Egypt from the demilitarized zone around El Auja in
the Negev.
They pointed out that all matters —dealt with in the
report are now subjudice in the mixed armistice commission.
It is felt here that the Riley report, published under UN
authority at Lake Success, is bound to detract from the
armistice commission's ability to settle this and other dis-
putes peaceably, and generally un.dermines the authority of
the commission.
It was stressed that under the armistice agree-
' went only the mixed armistice commission has the
right and duty to establish the facts of any incident and fix
responsibility. There is no provision enabling Gen. Riley
or any other authority to bypass the -commission and reach
a separate abritrary conclusion. In fact, it is stated here
these allegations have not yet been investigated by the-
mixed armistice commission.
It was recalled here that the Negev area where the
combing out operations took place recently has been rendered
unsafe by depredations and 'armed -attacks ' mostly by
Bedouin tribes from Egypt or Egyptian-held territory.
This situation was described as providing the • true baCk-
ground to the recent events in the Negev and . it was stated
that it, was "completely ignored in the Riley report" except
in the form of "Israel allegations."

Sefer Torah from. India:
Simhat Torah—occurring next Tues-
day—will assume added meaning for this group of settlers from India, who are shown next
to their tents in their terrrporary camp in the Jewish state, in the land where the Torah
first. was given to the world. Like their forefathers, these new citizens of Israel will cele-
brate the festival of Rejoicing in Law by using the Scroll, pictured above, which they brought
with them from India. (Diaspora Jewry will observe Simhat Torah on Wednesday).
LAKE SUCCESS—The Israel delegation to the United
Nations has prepared a written reply to be submitted to
the Security Council in answer to Egyptian complaints
of the expulsion of Bedouin tribesmen from Israel to Egyp-
tian territory. Egypt made a formal complaint to the
Council earlier this month.
The reply deals with allegations contained in the report
made to the UN this week by Maj. Gen. Riley.
, The • reconvened UN General Assembly at Flushing
heard the Iraqi delegate, Mohamed Fadhil Jamali, demand
that the UN invoke non-military sanctions—the breaking
off of diplomatic' communications and economic relations
—against Israel.
The Arab demand came on Yom Kippur, when mem-
bers of the Israel delegation—headed by Foreign' Minister
Moshe Sharett—abstained from participating in the As-
sembly session. Jamali denounced what he termed Israel
aggression in driving thousands of Arabs from their homes.
