In his 21-page report on the
operations of UNEF, he recom-
mended to the General Assembly
that it retain UNEF troops in the
Gaza Strip and in the Gulf of Eilat
area. He warned that withdrawal
of UNEF would "quite likely"
lead to resumption of serious bor-
der clashes. He reported that since
1965, the Palestine Liberation
Army had increased and had led
to "some differences with UNEF
personnel."

Emergen cy Force in Gaza
put the current strength of the
Palestine Liberation Army at
about 12,000 men. He asserted
that the "operational deploy.
ment" of PLA elements "just
outside the 500-meter zone of the
armistice demarcation line" and
increased patroling and training
activity of PLA units in the area
"are unavoidably of concern to
UNEF and its functioning."
He indicated his intention to
continue the reduction of UNEF
strength, for economy reasons,
which began in 1957 when the
UNEF forces totaled 6,615 men.
On June 31, 1966, the UNEF
strength was down to 3,595. India
with 1,138 men, has the largest
contingent. Canada with 904 is sec-
ond, and Yugoslavia with '705 is
third. Brazil has 605 men in
UNEF, Denmark 417, Norway 289,
and Sweden one.
He reported that the goal for the
coming strengths was to reduce
UNEF to "a basic strength" of
3,400 men and officers. However,
he stressed that the principle in
the program was that "the reduc-
tion must not cause any impair-
ment of the effectiveness of UNEF
as a peace force." He conceded an
element of risk in the planned
further reduction but said the risk
would materialize "only in the
event of some unanticipated emer-
gency." Any significant lowering
of the force below 3,500 would
make it impossible for UNEF "to
carry on as a peace force with its
542-7520-1
present functions and responsibili-
ties," he warned.
U Thant reported in the period
under his review UNEF had not
been confronted with any stern
challenges in the form of major
incidents. "However," he said,
"there have been some disturbing
signs recently that a change in
this favorable situation could oc-
cur. It is an unhappy statement to
have to make, but it is a reality
all too apparent that, despite al-
most a decade of relative quiet
along the long line on which
UNEF is deployed, relations be-
tween the people on the opposite
sides of the line are such that if
the UN buffer zone should be re-
moved serious fighting would,
quite likely, soon be resumed."

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel
will continue its policy of non-
involvement in the Vietnam con-
flict, according to the guidelines
included in instructions to the Is-
raeli delegation to the forthcom-
ing United Nations General As-
sembly session, which were ap-
proved by the Cabinet Sunday.
The proposals were presented to
the Cabinet by Foreign Minister
Abba Eban who left for New York
immediately after the Cabinet
meeting to head the delegation at
the assembly session.
The Israel position on Vietnam,
which is close to the American ap-
proach, favors an immediate
cease fire and negotiations without
prior conditions. The Israel gov-
ernment, according to the guide-
lines, does not accept the French
view that all foreign troops should
be withdrawn from Vietnam as a
precondition to peace.
Israel will not vote at the
assembly session in favor of
the admission of Communist
China at the expense of For-
mosa's membership in the world
body. The delegation was left
the choice of abstaining on the
issue or voting against the seat-
ing of Communist China accord.
ing to the formulation of the
draft resolution.
The Israeli government remains
uncommitted to any possible suc-
cessor to Secretary General U
Thant who will relinquish his post
when his term expires in Novem-
ber. The Cabinet postponed a de-
cision on this question until candi-
dates are put forward for the post.
The government's instructions
to the UN delegation call for con-
tinued support of the Africans in
any question of racial discrimina-
tion and against the South African
policy of apartheid. But Israel will
not vote for any move expelling
members or unseating delegations.
The Israeli delegation was in-
structed to press for detailed in-
structions to the United Nations
Relief and Works Agency to strike
out from the refugee ration lists
any members of Ahmed Shukai-
ry's 'Palestine Liberation Army.'
The agency will also be asked not
to include in the lists the grand-
children of the original refugees in
order to avoid the perpetuation of
the refugee question.
Israel will oppose any move to
change the voting procedures of
the General Assembly or to can-
cel the requirement of a two-thirds
majority on important questions.
Eban heads the following dele-
gation: Gideon Raphael of the Is-
raeli Foreign Ministry, vice chair-
man; Dr. Shabtai Rosenne, legal
adviser to Israel's foreign minis-
try; Joseph Tekoah, assistant
director-general of the foreign min-
istry, who had served as ambassa.
dor to the Soviet Union and
Brazil; and Gershon Avner, Israel's
present ambassador to Canada.

formances.
