Report Egyptian Troops Back on Israel Border

TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Israel
circles expressed anxiety over
information that the Egyptian
government intends to station
Palestinian Arab military units
along the borders of Israel and
the Gaza Strip.
The Egyptians, it w a s re-
ported, have decided to use
troops of their old Palestine
border police force on the
frontier. The troops would be
used at El Arish as a reserve
•
I and the bulk of the force, two
battalions in strength, would be
•
deployed along the demarca-
tion line.

Israel sources pointed out
Israel
cc
s ai that President Nasser of Egypt
`c had assured United Nations
a) representatives that both. the
Fedayeen (commando) units
and the separate Palestine units
would be dissolved when the
United Nations Emergency
Force took over patrol duty on
LT*
the frontier.
Israelis warned that return
of these special units to the
frontier would inevitably lead
to tension in the region.
President Nasser promised
Secretary General Dag Ham-
marskjold last spring, as part
of the "gentlemen's agreement"
between the two regarding the
work of UNEF, not to place any
Egyptian forces on the frontier
between the Gaza Strip and
Israel.
That became known at the
United Nations following re-
ports from Israel about
Egypt's new policing plans
for the Gaza border. It is the
first time any important part
of the Nasser-Hammarskjold
"gentlemen's agreement" has
been revealed.
According to a spokesman
for Hammarskjold, the United
Nations does not know of any
change in plans for policing the
Gaza border, and there have
been no Egyptian or other Arab
police along the Gaza frontier
since UNEF took over the bor-
der patrol after the withdrawal
of Israel troops last March.
The N a s s e r-Harnmarskjold
agreement provides that the
police forces in the Gaza area
are to be used for internal
policing activities only.
Also at the UN, Syria and
the Soviet Union continued
their earlier efforts to include
Israel as one of the parties to
blame for the tensions along
the Turco-Syrian border, but
the debate on_ Syria's complaint
against Turkey has just about
petered out.
Salah el Bitar, Syrian For-
eign Minister tried hard to keep
Israel involved in the dispute.
He kept referring to what he
called the "Zionist-imperialist
conspiracy" in the Middle East.
It was that "conspiracy" that
was responsible, he said for
last year's Israeli "aggression"
against Egypt, and it was that
policy, backed by Britain,
France, and the United States,
which forms the "true back-

ground of the tensions in the
Middle East," today.
The same general line was
followed by ', Moscow's Foreign
Minister, Andrei A. Gromyko.
He referred to the manner in
which, he said, Israel, Britain
and France had prof essed
peaceful intentions "only two or
three days before the armed
forces of these countries at-
tacked Egypt."
But, on the whole, Gro-
myko's long speech in which
he reiterated all of his pre-
vious accusations of U.S.-
Turco-Israeli "perfidy," was
seen by most observers here
as striking a subdued note.
Neither Syria nor Russia
introduced a resolution to back
up their calls for a commission
to probe the situation along
the Turco-Syrian frontier.
Back in Jerusalem spokesmen
for the left-wing parties in the
Israel government coalition
called for a "reorientation" of
Israel's foreign policy and adop-
tion of a more neutral position
as between the two Great Power-
blocs. They made their plea
when the Knesset resumed de-
bate on foreign policy Monday.
Spokesmen for Mapam and
Achdut Avodah told Parliament
that a middle course between
the two . giants would be more
advisable for Israel. Last week,
Foreign Minister Golda Meir
emphatically rejected proposals
that Israel follow a policy of
neutralism, arguing that Isreal
would not purchase the friend-
ship of any state at the price
of • its independence or terri-
torial integrity.
Speakers for 'several parties
challenged the left-wing posi-
tion. A speaker for the Herut
(right-wing) Part y warned
that -Egypt - was preparing in
the Sinai Peninsula for re-
•sumption of its fedayeen
(commando) r aids against

Israel, halted last year when
Israel's invading forces
smashed the fedayeen bases.
The Herut deputy called for
action against Egypt short of
was and proposed that Israelis
sabotage the flow of the Nile,
Egypt's lifeline, and impede
navigation through the Suez
Canal.
The government reply and
the wind-up of the debate is
expected to be postponed until
Foreign Minister Meir is able
to return to the house.

MAC Condemns Israeli Fighter
for Firing on Jordan Plane
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
Jordan-Israel Mixed Armistice
Commission condemned Israel
for "flagrant aggression"
against Jordan in connection
with the firing by an Israeli
fighter plane at a Jordan civil-
ian. plane.
The Commission d e c l a r e d
that on Oct. 19, the Israel
fighter flew 15 miles beyond
the frontier, intercepted the
plane, a Dakota, and tried to
force it to fly toward Israel.
The Commission also asserted
that in the 20 minutes involved,
the jet made firing and non-
firing passes at a 50-yard range,
allegedly endangering the crew
and passengers.
The Commission called on
Israel to prevent any similar
incidents in the future.
_The U. S. State Department
disclosed that it had commun-
icated the views of the United
States to Israel on the incident
involving the fighter plane, and
had made it clear that a nation
like Israel, which had lost a
commercial airliner when it
strayed accidentally over the
Bulgarian f r o n t i e r in 1955,
should exercise restraint in
firing on commercial planes.

changing neighborhoods.
In addition to the appoint-
ments, there was discussion of
the Council's budget, as ap-
proved by the Jewish Welfare
Federation, and a panel discus-
sion on developments in the
Middle East.
A review of activities during
the summer months was pre-
sented. This was highlighted
by the changing neighborhood
situation, problems of religion
in the public schools and an
up-to-date report on the work
of the internal relations com-
mittee.

Chairman of the function at
the Weizmann Institute of Sci-
ence at Rehovoth was Eliahu
Elath, Israel Ambassador to
Britain, who spoke of the late
world Zionist leader as having
achieved a unique place in
Jewish history as the "Prince
of exile" and first President of
the reborn State of Israel.
He characterized the late Dr.
Weizmann as a statesman, real-
ist, man of science and, above
all, one who believed in the
moral forces at the foundation
of every great human act.
Ambassador Elath described
Dr. Weizmann's activities in
World War I days which re-
sulted -in the publication of the
Balfour Declaration, whose 40th
anniversary was marked Satur-
day.
The impact of Dr. Weizmann's
personality and aspirations on
the younger generation of Is-
raelis who had no personal con-
tact with the late President dur-
ing his years of fighting for a
Awish state was underlined in
an address by Moshe Shamir, a
leading figure among the young
Israel writers.
Shamir called Dr. Weizmann's
meeting with the Emir Feisal
immediately after World War I
"one of the most decisive and
boldest acts on the part of any
Jewish leader to achieve Jew-
ish-Arab understanding."
Sephardic Chief Rabbi Itzhak
Nissim, who was invited to par-
ticipate in the memorial, re-
fused on the grounds that it
had not been arranged in a
Jewish tradition and expressed
the hope that future memorials
for Dr. Weizmann would be
planned in a more Jewish spirit.
