W ar Crimes' Charge Refuted by Israel Envoy to the UN
UNITED NATIONS (JTA) —
Ambassador Jacob Doron, Israel's
deputy permanent representative
to the United Nations, refuted
charges by the United Nations
Commission on Human Rights that
"grave breaches of the Fourth
Geneva Convention committed by
Israel in the occupied Arab terri-
tories constitute war crimes and
an affront to humanity."
The commission adopted the res-
olution on May 23 by a vote of 12-8
with 10 abstentions.
Addressing the UN's Econo-
mic and Social Council, Doron
said the very notion of using the
expression "war crimes" in any
form or manner with reference
to actions of Israel in the areas
administered by it since 1967,
should be "repugnant and ab-
horrent" to anybody who has
preserved a minimal sense of
fairness and decency.
The fact is, Doron said, life is
progressing normally. "The very
fact that last year some 110,000
Arabs from neighboring and other
countries came over to visit their
relatives and friends" and to tour
the areas, speaks for itself, Doron
stated. He added that judging by
applications for entry permits re-
ceived so far, the figure of Arab
visitors to the area in the next few
months of 1972 will be about 150,-
000.
stand op against these simple
facts?"
Doron spoke of development pro-
grams, including health programs,
instituted by Israel for the Arabs
in the administered areas and add-
ed that instead of being kept in
"veritable concentration camps"
and not being allowed "either
freedom of movement or a chance
of obtaining employment" as was
the situation during Egyptian rule
in the Gaza Strip, the Arab resi-
dents of the Strip, in addition to
freedom of movement, are also

free to take up employment in Is-
rael or in the West Bank, and
many of them are availing them-
selves of this opportunity.
"It is this enormous change for
the better in the Gaza Strip,"
Doron continued, "which apparent-
ly is the cause for Egyptian com-
plaints against Israeli policy and
actions there," which—as pointed
out on previous occasions—have
been, at all times, directed towards
ensuring "the safety, welfare and
security of the inhabitants of the
areas" in accordance with the ten-
