Jerusalem's Status Will Remain Unchanged, Eban Tells UN T

UNITED NATIONS,• N.Y. (JTA)
—Israel has flatly • rejected de
mands by the United Nations Se-
curity Council that it rescind all
measures taken since June 1967
to change the status of Jerusalem
and to refrain from similar actions
in the future. At the same time,
Israel denounced the Security
Council position, taken in a reso-
lution on July 3, 1969, and con-
demned its failure to prevent "de-
struction and sacrilege" in the
Old City of Jerusalem during the
19 years it was in Jordanian con-
trol.
The Israeli stand was disclosed
by Secretary General U Thant in
a report to the Security Council.
The reply, transmitted to Thant
on Nov. 27, came after Thant had
made three separate requests of
Israel for information on what
steps it was taking to comply with
the Security Council resolution.
The first request was made on
Aug. 27.
In his reply, Foreign Minister
Abba Ehan reminded Thant that
the division of Jerusalem arose
out of Jordan's "illicit armed ac-
tion" in 1948 in defiance of the
Security Council's cease-fire ap-
peals. The division was terminat-
ed, he said, "by hostilities initi-
ated by Jordan in 1967."

The foreign minister pointed
out that "Jerusalem has been
the focus of Israel's faith and
nationhood for 3,000 years and
has been Israel's center of gov-

er
'nt for two decades." He
declared that "it is inconceiv-
able that Jerusalem should be
torn apart again or that any
international interests can be
served by pressing for the city
to be dismembered."
These interests, he said, "are
based on the holy places of three
great monotheistic religions. For
the first time since 1848 the
shrines of all faiths have been
open to access by those who hold
them sacred." Israel has ensured
that the holy places will "be
administered under the responsi-
bility of the religions concerned,"
Eban declared. He pointed out that
places of worship and religious
institutions destroyed or damaged
in the assaults of 1948 and 1967
have been or are being restored.
Ile repeated the Israel govern-
, ment s willingness "to work out
agreements with the representa-
tive bodies of the three religions
to ensure that the universal and
sacred character of the holy
places is approximately expressed
and free access to them guaran-
teed."
Eban reminded the secretary
general that ".Jerusalem is a liv-
ing, secular city with 2(10,000 Jew-
ish and 70,000 Arab inhabitants."
He pointed out that "normal move-
ment. and visits, residence, busi-
ness activity and employment are
open to all citizens in all parts of
the city. Its economical welfare is
being advanced, and plans are tak-

ing shape to enhance its dignity
and beauty." He cited the partici-
pation'of over 7,000 Arab residents
in the recent Jerusalem Municipal
election • as demonstrating "their
positive interest in the day-to-day
adniinistration of the united city."

The progress made by united
Jerusalem in the past two years,
Eban s a i d, "stands in sharp
contrast to the situation which
prevailed from 1948 to 1967 in
the Jordan occupied section.
After its occupation in 1948,
the Jewish quarter of the Wail-
ing- Old City was practically de-
stroyed a a d scores of syna-

tractors working the fields in
the Golan Heights MOnday, dam-
aging two of them but causing
no casualties. A spokesman in
Damascus claimed that Syrian
15 Israeli Army engineers in
troops had killed or wounded 10-
the Golan Heights. He claimed
that four Israeli bulldozers and
an antitank gun were destroyed.

No Jews were allowed access
to "their most sacred shrine"—
the Western Wailing Wall, Eban
noted, and even Moslem Arabs

residing in Israel were not al-
lowed to reach their holy places.

Ehan told the secretary general
that "international opinion has
every reason to regret that the
Security Council remained coin-
pletely indifferent to the destruc-
tion and sacrilege of Jewish houses
of prayer, residences and burial
grounds and violation of the prin-
ciple of free access to the Holy
Places. It would be incongruous,"
he declared, "for a body which did
nothing to prevent Jerusalem's
division to work now against its
peaceful union or to censure meas-
ures taken to ensure the livelihood
of all its inhabitants and to main-
tain public law and order despite
occasional terrorist attacks upon
the civil population, organized, di-
rected and financed by the very
Jordanian authorities which show-
ed such callous disregard for Jeru-
salem's peace and sanctity on
many occasions during the past 20
