Tuesday that Israel will imple-
ment passage of the Suez Canal
by Israeli shipping both in laW
and in fact. She warned that a
.breach„ of Israel's trust on the
Suez question will affect not

and warned the United Nations
that it must take a firm -stand
against .Egyptian President
Nasser's obstinacy in refusing
to grant Israel free passage.
Opening a five-hour debate
in the Israeli Parliament Tues-
' day night, Mrs. Meir declared
that Israel's foreign policy was
baseti on three points.
1. The right of self-defense
and freedom of action in the
Aqaba and Tiran areas which
has been explicitly recog-
nized by the' United States
and ,other nations;
2. No return to the status
quo ante as regards Gaza and
freedom of navigation; and
3. Long term security for
Israel which is a matter for
the world's conscience.
Mrs. Meir warned that the
United Nations has a grave re-

also told the Secretary General
that "the Egyptian regulations'
