Israel's Challenge to Egypt for Peace
Goes Unanswered in Security Council
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.,
(JTA)—Ambassador Abba Eban
told the United Nations Secur-
ity Council that the Israel gov-
ernment "is prepared to give
an assurance that if no hostile
act is carried out by the Egyp-
tians against Israel, then no
hostile act of any kind will be
carried out by Israel against
Egypt." .
He spoke at the session called
to resume discussion of the Gaza
incident and the tension pre-
vailing on the Egyptian - Israel
frontier.
. "Will the -government of Egypt
join us in a declaration of fi-
delity to the provisions of the
United Nations Charter calling
upon us to settle all disputes by
peaceful means and to refrain
from threat or use of force
against the territorial integrity
and political independence of
any state, - Eban challenged.
"The acceptance of such a
code of Egyptian - Israel rela-
tionships would not take us be-
yond our existing commitments
under the armistice agreement
and the Charter of the United
Natiolis," he said.
"These are all things that we
have agreed to do already. But
under the burden of belligerent
doctrines the pacific obligations
which we have undertaken have
become lost to sight; and the
insidious fallacy of a state of
war has spread its contagion
both in the theory and the prac-
tice of our relationships. If the
government of Egypt, through
its delegation, is able at any
stage to give affirmative answer
to these questions, my govern-
ment would make wholehearted
response."
Pointing out that "at no time
since the signature of the arm-
istice agreement has the pres-
sure of Egyptian hostility been
exerted upon Israel with such
provocative intensity as during
the past six months," Ambassa-
dor Eban drew the attention of
the Security Council to the fact
that the tensions of the Egyp-
tian - Israel frontier "are re-
vealed with deep gravity" in the
reports presented to the Council
by Ma.j. Gen. E. L. M. Burns,
United Nations truce chief.
Eban, citing a number of
Egyptian violations of the arm-
istice agreement in recent
months, said, "the •reponder-
ance of Egyptian violations
would be greater than the 3 to
1 ratio appearing in Egypt's
disfavor in the MAC records.
The MAC in the period between
August 1, 1954 and March 7,
1955 has found Egypt guilty of
violating the armistice on no
Less than 40 occasions.
Ambassador Eban pointed out
that according to the official
transcript of the meeting of the
Special Committee of the Egyp-
tian - Israel Mixed Armistice
Commission on the Gaza inci-
dent, held on March 11, the
chairman addressed the parties
as follows: "I think all of us
realize that this did not arise
out of a blue sky, and certainly
no report or evidence before the
Security Council by any respon-
sible party would give that im-
pression."
The head of the Israel dele-
gation emphasized that "the re-
port to the Security Council by
Gen. Burns conveys the aston-
ishing assertion by Egyptian
authorities that 'persons com-
mitting murders and saTotage
(in Israel) were being inspired,
paid and equipped by political
elements in Egypt inimical to
the government and desirous of
aggravating the border situa-
tion.' Whatever the truth of the
explanation, the murders and
sabotage thus candidly eman-
ated from Gaza headquarters,
for whose activities the Egyp-
tian government is responsible,"
Eban. stressed.
Calls Request for Negev 'Insolent'
Ambassador Eban revealed
that the governments of the
United States and of the United
Kingdom have also "considered
the problem serious enough to
warrant the use of their good
offices within recent mouths."
He said that the govertunerit
di Israel received information
from each of these two govern-
ments, as well as from the gov-
ernment of Turkey, during the
period between October 1954 and
February 1955, concerning the
representations which they had
made in Cairo in support of the
appeals of the MAC calling for
the cessation of assaults and
sabotage against Israel from the
Gaza strip."
Quoting a number of threats
against Israel voiced by Egyp-
tian leaders, Ambassador Eban
referred to the "insolent terri-
torial claim" to the Negev put
forward last week by Maj. Salah
Salem, Egyptian Minister for
National Guidance, who thereby
"revealed the underlying pur-
pose of Egyptian harrassrnent in
the Negev. The object is to im-
pede the development of the
Negev in order to bring about
its annexation to Egypt."
"Is there 'a single precedent
in contemporary international
life for a state openly to assert
a claim to half the territory of
its smaller neighbor, to launch
dozens of assaults upon it
against severe international
condemnation, and, on the first
occasion when it provokes re-
sistance, to run for protection
to the very Security Council
whose authority it had repudi-
ated a few weeks before?" Eban
asked.
Concluding, Ambassador Eban
said: "My delegation feels justi-
fied in seeking a condemnation
by the Security Council of the
Egyptian incursions, murders,
demolitions and sabdtage activi-
ties described by Gen. Burns' re-
port as 'a main cause of present
tension' and in the MAC reso-
lutions as 'repeated aggressive
acts by Egypt against Israel.'
"We seek confirmation of the
Security Council's view that the
claim or practice of active bel-
ligerency by land and sea is in-
consistent with the Armistice
Agreement and the Charter of
the United Nations. We urge a
reassertion by the parties of
their obligations to each other
in terms of non - belligerency,
pacific settlement and respect
for political independence and
territorial integrity; a n d we
await Egyptian reply to this
proposal.
"We advocate, after six years
of armistice, a serious effort to
make a transition towards per-
manent peace. To any attempt
at stabilization and pacification
our government will lend its full
support."
Before the Council adjourned
without setting the date of its
next meeting, Egypt's Omar
Loutfi answered Ambassador
Eban, but instead of referring
to the Israel delegation's peace
challenge accused Israel again
of "flagrant, brutal" aggression.
Then Dr. Loutfi made what
seemed to many observers here
a tactical error by shifting his
attack to Gen. Burns, alleging
that Gen. Burns in his report
went "far beyond the framework
of urgent considerations con-
cerning the aggression against
Gaza."
Both Loutfi and Eban ad-
dressed a number of questions to
Gen. Burns in an effort to
strengthen their cases. The Is-
rael delegate elicited the infor-
mation that Egypt has been
gravely condemned by the MAC
at least twice since the Gaza
incident.
