Emphasizing that Israel is
•here - to stay, that in spite of all
: obstacles his country has over-
come the major difficulties, Mr.
Eban said that 70 nations al-
ready have recognized Israel
and that "it has become pop-
ular to recognize Israel."
He spoke with satisfaction of
his tours of 39 states in behalf
of his country and he said that
he felt everywhere "the deep
impression of friendship for
Israel by Americans. The roots
of this friendship have very
great depth and rest primarily
on a sense of justice," he added.
Speaking of the world's rec-
ognition of the rights of Jews
to statehood, Mr. Eban said
that '"it would have been a dis-
grace to the world's conscience
if the United Nations, which has
liberated many peoples and so
many Arab states had not also
liberated that tiny notch—
Israel."
He appealed again to the
Arab states to abandon strife
and to "join with us" in ad-
vancing the standards of the
Middle East.
Referring to Nasser's most re-
cent repeated threats to Israel,
Mr. Eban said that his latest
address was a "juvenile and sin-
ister speech—not an infrequent
combination." He pointed out
that Nasser already has been re-
sisted by Jordan, Lebanon, Tu-
nis, Sudan and Iraq, and he
expressed the belief that the
•Arab peoples "will awaken—in
a future to be shared with us
in peace."
Warning that "we must plan
for contingencies," such as the
emergency emigration move-
ments from Eastern Europe
into Israel, Mr. Eban asked
for continued co-operation from
American Jewish communities
and for a strengthened partner ,
ship between Israel and U.S.
Jewry. He described the eco-
nomic needs in the country,
and he spoke enthusiastically of
the friendships that have been
established between Israel and
Afro-Asian nations.
