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."
