Eban Tells UN: Israel Insists on Abandonment of Violations Before
Joining Jarring Peace Talks, Must Have Signed, S ealed Agreement
UNITED NATIONS N. 'Y.
(JTA)—Israel Foreign Minister
Abbe Eban reaffirmed to the
General Assembly Monday his
government's determination not
to return to the Gunnar V. Jar-
ring peace talks before the
Egyptian missile advantage
gained in violation of the stand-
still provisions of the cease fire
is nullified.
"When we reflect on our ex-
perience with the hopes and
expectations of 1967 and with
this latest incident," the 55-year-
old Israel diplomat declared in
his renowned Cambridge-bred
tones, "we become fortified in
our resolve to insist that all
peace engagements be direct,
explicit and signed and sealed
in the most, precise contractual
form. Israel is ready to resume
discussions under Ambassador
Jarring's auspices as soon as
the violations are rectified and
the situation prevailing on the
day of the cease fire restored."
Egypt's standstill abrogation,
Eban said, was a singularly
"perfidious violation of an in-
ternational agreement through
the exploitation of the good
faith and pacific intention of
the other side." It has resulted,
he continued, in "a collapse of
confidence In the validity of
Egypt's pledge," and "has cast
an anticipatory shadow on the
validity of any peace agreement
which we might hope to con-
clude." In addition, he said,
the "endorsement" of that abro-
gation by the Soviet Union is
"a major international event"
because "its repercussions go
beyond the Middle East; they
affect crucial issues of peace
and security in other continents
of the world."
Eban offered to "use my
presence here for talks with
heads of Arab delegations on
the establishment of peace
and on the creation of the at-
mosphere sad conditions in
which a fruitful negotiation
said, "no rational or de-
tensible reason for refusing
such an opportunity."
(On Tuesday, It was an-
nounced by Eban that Israel
was ready to expand the 90.day
cease fire indefinitely.)
winout hindrance the parts (of
Arab territory) not yet occu-

allow" the "freedom to intimi-

Israel through deliveries of
American weaponry that "do

the United Nations Charter." If

contacts, Dr. El Zayyat remark.
ed, "the way for that is to go
and see Mr. Jarring. Mr. Jar-
ring is here in his room."
In the first of a series of Arab
replies to Eban's address, Egyp-
tian Ambassador Mohamed H.

tion of the truce occurred
when Israeli planes crossed the
Suez the night of Aug. 7.8.

Nasser's Death Creates New Anxieties in Quest for Peace
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Pres-
ident Nasser's sudden death is
likely to freeze the already
stalled Arab-Israeli peace talks
for an indefinite period, Israeli
leaders believe.
They are hopeful that a new
Egyptian regime will make It
possible for both sides to start
afresh in the quest for a peace-
ful Mideast settlement. But they
are aware that the late Egyp-
tian president was the only
Arab leader who commanded
the political power and personal
prestige necessary to negotiate
with Israel and at the moment
there is no leader of similar sta-
ture anywhere in the Arab
world.

Eban and El Zayyat each
received 10 seconds of polite
applause from the assembly.
In his speech, the Israeli
foreign minister made three ad-
ditional major points:
1) the UN "exerts no more
than a marginal influence on
the main issues of conflict, and
the central currents of inter-
national thought and action flow
outside its walls;
2) "The Soviet intervention
does not concern with peace
in the Mediterranean; to out-
flank the European defense
system from the south; to estab-
lish a large foreign army on
African soil in contempt for the
principle of African independ-
ence; and to bring about a gen-
eral disturbance of the interna-
tional equilibrium;
3) "No constructive interests
of Palestinian Arabs can be

manded by (Yassir) Arafat,
(Dr. George) Habash and others
whose ideology consists of noth-
ing except the prevention of
peace between Israel and the
