World Leaders
Debate Israel's
Suez Position
(Continued from rage 1)
function effectively if mem-
ber states accept only resolu-
tions which are favorable to
them and ignore those that
are unfavorable."
Dr. Mahmoud Fawzi, Egypt's
Foreign Minister, and his chief
backer in the Council, Soviet
Foreign Minister Dmitri Shepi-
loy admitted in their major
speeches that freedom of pass-
age through the Suez Canal is
an important issue. They avoid-
ed mentioning Israel by name.
Wing Commander Ali Sabry,
principal political advisor to
Egypt's President Gamal Abdel
Nasser, later spelled out at a
press conference his govern-
ment's interpretation of the
pledge cited by Dr. Fawzi.
"Egypt cannot let Israeli ships
pass through the canal," he said,
"because a state of war exists
between us." He insisted also
that Egypt had a perfect right to
refrain from observing a Secur-
ity Council resolution of 1951
which ordered Egypt to end its
blockade of ,Israel shipping, be-
cause "Israel it not acting in the
spirit of the armistice as far
as border clashes are con-
cerned."
A spokesman for the French
delegation here, however, ac-
cused Egypt of failing to honor
its pledges regarding the Suez
Canal and also of having been
guilty of aggressions "on its
borders."
Israel's request to speak on
its own behalf at the Security
Council was still very much
alive. An authoritative spokes-
man for the Cuban government,
which is a member of the Coun-
cil, said that Cuba would openly
back Israel's request for at
least some participation in the
Council debate. The Soviet Un-
ion, it was understood, would
not object to Israel's participa-
tion, providing equal voice were
given to the representatives of
seven other Arab League mem-
bers who also want to be heard.
