.kitralb War of Terror Will Be Decided in Jordan'

Moshe Dayan

Continued from Page 1
therefore is accompanied by my
confidence that your government
will devote all its energy to
effort to reach a secure, just
and lasting peace—acceptable and
beneficial both to Israel and to her
nieghbors."
Defense Minister Moshe Dayan
said Tuesday that he foresaw the
possibility of "a state of non-bel-
ligerency" between Israel and its
Arab neighbors rather than a for-
mal peace. "Such a state is rather
nearer now than we have ever been
to it," Gen. Dayan said in an inter-
view published in Maariv.
The defense minister was op-
timistic about the prospects of co-
existence between Israel and the
population of the occupied Arab
territories. The experience of the
past 11 months has been better
than expected, he said. He added
that co-existence was possible tin-
der two conditions—that the Arabs
in the occupied territories be al-
lowed to maintain their family
social and cultural ties with the
Arab states and that they be per-
mitted to maintain their own way
of life. Gen. Dayan repeated his
warning that the cease-fire lines
will not be a one-way street, open
to saboteurs but closed to Israel.
Last week Dayan warned Jor-
dan that if it continued to wage
"a war of terror" against Israel,
the war would pass to Jordanian
soil and be decided there.
Speaking at a meeting of the
regional council at Samakh, at-
•tended by representatives of set-
tlements in the Israeli side of the
Jordan Valley. Davan emphasized
that Israel would not accept a
cease-fire agreement that was not
applied to terrorist activities and
under which terrorist organizations
were permitted to wage war on
Israel's side of the cease-fire line.
This "unilateral right" is not for
. the Arabs alone. he warned.
"If Jordan wants to become
the sword of the Arab countries
and if Jordan tries to do what
Egypt stopped doing after it
evacuated residents of cities and
towns along the Suez Canal,
then Jordan would also have to
pay fo" it," Gen. Dayan declared.
He warned that the entire Jor-
dan VaPey would become a bat-
tlefield with no place for civilian
life because families and live-
stock could not "live under the
same roof with acts of war."
He told the settlers • that while
some 70.000 Jordanians had left
Jordan Valley settlements as refu-
gees in Jordan, ,there had been
increased recruiting of Israeli civi-
lians and youth for border settle-
ments.
Prime Minister Eshkol on Sun-
day, after a cabinet meeting, re-
jected the UN Security Council's
resolution opposing the Israel an-
niversary parade as being "un-
acceptable." Government spokes-
men said Yosef Tekoah's declara-
tion at the UN fully expressed Is-
rael's position.
The cabinet meeting on Sunday
heard a security situation report
from Defense Minister Moshe
Dayan, and a representative of the
army headquarters reported on the
incident near Jericho Sunday morn-
ing in which 13 Arab saboteurs
were killed. Foreign Minister Abba
Eban, reporting on the Security
Council resolution, noted that the
Council had rejected efforts by
UN Secretary General U Thant and
pro-Arab states to include in the
resolution a reference to the arm-
istice agreement.
A ministerial committee was
charged at the meeting with work-
ing out the details of cuts in the
development budget of 200,000,000
pounds ($57,000,000). The funds
are being transferred to the de-
fense budget.
The .Israeli press was unanimous
in condemning the Security Coun-
cil resolution. Editorial writers and
cartoonists were particularly bit-
ter against Secretary General U
Thant whose intervention, they

said, prompted Jordan to bring its
complaint against the parade to
the Security Council. Dress re
hearsals for the parade, which
started in East Jerusalem Thurs-
day, were held . Sunday. Throngs
lined the streets to watch the pre-
parations. Cars estimated in the
thousands jammed the roads lead-
ing to Jerusalem Airport, the re-
pository of much of the heavy
equipment captured from the Egyp-
tians and Syrians in last June's war
which were displayed in the pa-
rade.
Arabic leaflets were distributed
in the outskirts of Jerusalem urg-
ing Arabs to stay away from the
Independence Day parade. But
many Arabs were expected to see
it anyway since it will be the first
public event to be televised in
Israel. General television broad-
casting is not expected to begin for
several months.
Israel Refuses to Comply
With UN Resolution
UNITED NATIONS (JTA) —
The United Nations Se c u r it y
Council on April 27 adopted unani-
mously a resolution calling on Is-
rael to abandon plans to stage its
annual military parade in Jeru-
salem on May 2 and Israel im-
mediately declared the resolution
was "unacceptable" and that the
celebration in "united Jerusalem"

would take place as scheduled.
Thirteen of the 15 Council mem-
bers urged Israel, in the lengthy
debate preceding the vote, to aban-
don the Jerusalem parade site.
The only countries which did not
express opposition were the United
States and Brazil. Soviet Ambassa-
dor Jacob Malik warned that
Israel might face UN sanctions if
it went through with the parade
plans.
Secretary General U Thant had
informed the Council, prior to the
start of debate, that he considered
the scheduled parade an action
which would hurt current efforts
toward peace in the area. In his
note, the secretary general report-
ed he had sent a letter to the
Israel government on April 20, in
which he said that the parade
plans "in the relevant part" of
Jerusalem related "specifically"
to General Assemby and Security
Council resolution on the status
of Jerusalem and to the Israeli-
Jordanian armistice agreement. He
indicated the Israel government
did not reply to his letter.
The resolution, proposed by
India, Pakistan and Senegal, ini-
tially included a reference to a
1961 Security Council resolution
criticizing such parades as a viola-
tion of the Israel-Jordan armis-
tice pact. The reference was delet-

ed before the vote was taken.
Yosef Tekoah, Israel's perma-
nent representative, rejecting the
resolution, said it concerned a mat-
ter which, under the cease-fire
agreement, came within the pur-
view of "Israel's" internal juris-
diction." He also warned that the
resolution might prejudice efforts
now being pursued in the area to-
ward a peaceful settlement.
Calling Jerusalem "the crown of
the Jewish people," Tekoah said
"the Jewish people have waited
for this 2,000 years. People every-
where will rejoice together with
us in this great hour of Biblical,
prophetic consummation." He
added that "behind the paraders
in Jerusalem will march 20 cen-
