sador Eban cited the following
facts:
1. The Arabs had initiated the
Palestine issue in the General
Assembly. Their complaints had
been thoroughly aired and had
been dismissed by the General
Assembly which had refused to
act in any way on their com-
plaints.
2. The General Assembly and
the Political Committee had re-
jected attempts to have past
resolutions on Palestine reaf-
firmed. Specifically, it had re-
jected the Arab demand to this
effect and the General Assembly
had rejected the Philippine
amendment which would have
made the past UN resolutions
the basis of direct Arab-Israel
negotiations. On the other hand,
however, the Assembly failed to
take any forinal action to bring
about direct negotiations al-
though a majority had favored
such action.
3. Israel and the Arab states
are now to. be left alone to work
out their differences, and the
UN will not seek to influence a
political settlement.

out that Israel had long advo-
cated direct negotiations before
the Arabs sought unsuccessfully
