"It is a . complete distortion to imply that the Government Of Israel is not ready to enter peace negotiations and that it has to be prodded into it. On countless oc- casions, Israel has declared her readiness for negotiations with- out prior conditions if the other party is also willing to negotiate on such a basis. "At the same time, the Govern- ment of Israel deemed it neces- sary to make it clear to the United States Government that she is opposed to any territorial concessions. Israel does not sub- mit prior , conditions to direct negotiations with Egypt or any other neighboring state, and it is an untruth to talk about prior conditions on Israel's part in this respect. The Israel Government, however, rejects absolutely the fixing of prior conditions by would-be mediators who ask that Israel should agree to cessions of territory—as was done in Sir An- thiny Eden's declarations."

Info-i -ned political quarters re- ported that many congressmen approve the allocation in prin- ciple, but feel the Administra- tion's approach ignores the basic crisis facing Israel from the Communist-Egyptian arms deal. Congressional sources favoring the Point Four con- cept indicated • they might vote for the proposed '10-year Nile project but would • insist simul- taneouSly on immediate con- sideration of Is--eel's needs, especially action on the Israel arms list and_ a U.

State Department desire for territorial concessions by Israel to Egypt was attributed by one source to this strategy.

Mr. • .Sharett warned that t h e situation might be getting worse while Secretary Dulles said • there were no concrete develop- ments indicating peace be- tween the Arabs and Israel. Because of the "improvement" in the situation and the desire to avoid jeopardizing it by an "arms race," one source suggested that hasty action would be avoided on Israel's arms list. The list is now under consideration by the State and Defense Departments. A concensus of opinion among sources in the government was that action on the list, whether affirmative or negative, could not be expected until early 1956. It was pointed out here that the United States is on the verge of improving relations with Egypt through American assistance on the construction of the "high Aswan" dam project on the Nile.
