THE JEWISH NEWS— 43 Syria-Israel Territorial Dispute Is Tackled by UN , Friday, April 20, 1951 Direct JTA Teletype Wires to The Jewish News TEL AVIV—Several hours pri- or to the opening today of the United Nations Security Coun- cil's session to deal with the Is- rael-Syrian conflict, Israel's For- eign Minister Moshe Sharett re- ceived the U. S. Ambassador Monnet B. Davis as well as the British and Foreign Ministers in Israel and discussed with them the stand of the Israel govern- ' ment towards the issues which precipitated the conflict. Charges and Counter Charges LAKE SUCCESS—The United Nations Security Council con- vened to consider Israeli and Syrian complaints arising from - the Syrian-Israeli conflict pre- cipitated by the invasion of Is- raeli territory by Syrian troops and the killing there of seven Is- raeli civilian policemen. Eight Syrian charges against Israel lead off the agenda. They are followed by three Israeli complaints against Syria. The principal charges brought by Syria before the Security Coun- cil are: 1. That Israel violated the armistice agreement by starting and continuing op- •erations for draining the Huleh swamps within the demilitarized zone against the wishes of Syria Arab land owners and against the advice of UN truce super- visors. 2. That Israeli forces occupied de- militarized zones in the Israel-Syrian bor- der and that Israeli police patrols 'de- liberately" attacked a Syrian post in an attempt to occupy the village of Hamma "where they were repulsed with loss." The .-other -Syrian charges claim that Israeli military personnel- fired mortars at Syrian military positions, that Syrian . military posts and Arab villages were demolished by Israeli bombing and that Israel evacuated Arab inhabitants by force from the demilitarized zone. . The Israeli charge's are that Syria violated the armistice agreement by persistent firing at civilian workers on Israel terri- tory in the demilitarized zone, that Syrian armed . forces enter- ' ed the demilitarized zone in Is- rael territory in the Hamma vi- -- cinity and that Syrian troops killed seven Israeli civilian po- licemen near Hamma. It was officially reported that Syria followed Israel's example mitted by Col. Bennett De Ridder, mitted by Col. Bennett De Rider, acting UN Truce Chief, to both parties as a prerequisite for the resumption of normal activities of the Israeli-. Syrian Mixed Armistice Commission. Israel ac- cepted the four points last week. They are: 1. All military and para=military , forces of both sides to be withdraWil from the demilitarized zone; 2. No further fight- ing within the zone or across demarca- Lion lines; -3. UN observers to be afford- ed every facility for carrying out their duties; 4. The responsibility of the chair- man of the mixed armistice commission to implement the article in the armistice agreement concerning resumption of nor- mal life in the demilitarized zone to be reaffirmed by both states. The Syrian acceptance came on Sunday in the form of a let- ter to Col. De Ridder from the Senior Syrian delegate to the .mixed armistice commission, :Commander Djid, who voiced his country's readiness to partici- pate in any emergency meeting . •:of the mixed armistice commis- sion convened by the chairman, but said he felt obliged to bring to the attention of the acting chief of staff that no •Syrian military or para-military forces had penetrated the demil- - • - itarized zone. Ref e r ring to demarcation "lines," the Syrian official de- clared that only one such line was defined in t h e Armistice agreement. He reserved Syria's rights regarding such questions as the stoppage of work in the region, the return of Arab civil- ians to their villages and the compensation of damage to their property in the recent incidents. Israel Urges Discussions Be Left to Mixed Armistice Body LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y.—The UN -Security Council Tuesday - started discussions on the Israel- Syria conflict, with Israel sug- gesting that the Council should reserve action i/L the dispute while the Israeli-Syrian Mixed Armistice Commission on the spot continues to deal with the problem, which precipitated the conflict. • Pointing out that the Armis- tice Commission had secured the agreements. of Israel and Syria to four basic points of dispute, Ambassador Abba Eban, Israel's chief delegate at the UN, ex- pressed the view at Tuesday's session of the Council that proper jurisdiction remains with the UN Truce Commission in the field. Eban, who was invited to sit at the Council table with his Syrian counterpart, came to the meeting unprepared to argue the Israeli case in view of Israel's opinion that the Security Coun- cil was not yet the place for a decision on the dispute. This seems to be the view of the United States and Great Britain. Holiday Greetings FITZP A TRICK WHOLES ALE LUMBER COMPANY, INC. 12676 Greenfield VE. 6-7850 Holiday Greetings Passover Greetings S.
