aers Move to End
rmmation Plan
:
Bewildered at the outset by what at first was considered a suicidal
Israeli move, the invasion of Egypt on Sunday began to make sense within
48 hours.
The floc Spots:
It was at Kuntilla that
Israeli forces (arrow) struck into Egypt in their move to
put an end to the invasion of the fedayeen (suicide squadS),
driving to Nekhl, on the way to the Suez Canal on the
Aquaba-Suez Road. There are conflicting reports about the
movement of an Egyptian naval flotilla off Haifa (1).
American nationals were evacuated from Amman (2) to
Beirut (3) and Britain ordered her nationals evacuated from
Jordan. Iraqi troops were reported concentrated on the
Jordan border (4).
The Jewish telegraphic Agency had reported on Sunday that Israel's
mobilization was the result of a planned three-pronged attack by Arabs—
moves by an Egypt-Syria-Jordan alliance to destroy Israel and exterminate
her people.
Three invasions of Israel by fedayeen (suicide squads) on Sunday
speeded action by the Israel army, with the result that a part of the Gaza
strip is being cut off from Egypt, that Israelis have moved close to the Suez
Canal and are making it possible for British and French troops to resume
control of the Suez and to put - an end to the dictatorship of Gamal Abdel
Nasser.
Two disturbing elements enter into the situation: the loss of prestige
by the United States, the major power whose move to impose sanctions
upon Israel was shattered by British-French vetos — the first of their kind,
irrdicating that the two former allies of the United States do not go along
with Eisenhower-Dulles polities; and the danger of air attacks upon Israel.
Barring the latter, Israel's dramatic move may be considered as having been
completed and her mission . accomplished. With reference to the former,
the entire world now is wondering what effect the Middle East happenings
will have on the Tuesday election. In many quarters it is believed that
Adlai Stevenson's expose of the .failure of the Eisenhower-Dulles foreign
policies will help him in the final days of a dramatic campaign for the
Presidency.

Direct JTA teletype wires to The Jewish News on Wednesday morn-
ing reported the following:
Three Egyptian MIG fighters were shot down by Israelis in air clashes.
One Israel plane was hit but returned baseward. Shortly thereafter- another
cabled report to The Jewish News, quoting an Israeli spokesman, stated that

Editorial on Emergency in Middle East
An Appeal for Fair Play and Peace
With President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles pro-
posing economic and diplomatic sanctions against Israel in the latest
Israeli action, it becomes imperatively necessary that the American
people should be alerted to what has happened, what is happening,
what may happen in the future, in order that rash judgments should
be averted and perpetuation of injustice prevented.
We are painfully saddened. Lives are being lost. Cousins are fight-
ing cousins. The peace of the entire world is endangered.
But our pain is one continuous anguish, dating back to the days
•
when six million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis could have
been rescued;- when world public opinion, the force of whose outcries
against tyranny could have prevented mass murders, was silent; when
the great British Empire made it impossible for Jews to enter the only
area available to them as a haven of refuge—Palestine—and sent boat-
loads of refugees to their doom in deep seas; when Jews, striving for
fulfillment of prophecy, finally attained independence; when these Jews,
facing the threat of being "driven into the sea" by seven warring Arab
