—Secretary General Kurt

the Security Council to help
reach a Middle East settle-
ment "should include a new
appraisal of the possibilities
and procedures of the coun-
cil itself for conciliation and
the exploration of all means
by which the framework of
the United Nations might be
used to assist the parties in
reaching a just and lasting
settlement."
He said that he himself,
his special representative to
the Middle East, Ambassador
Gunnar V. Jarring, the UN
Secretariat and the Security
Council are at the disposal of
the governments concerned
to assist in reaching a settle-
ment.
Obviously, these efforts can
only be useful if the parties
concerned wish to avail them-
selves of them," Waldheim
said. "But if that wish is
present, the new effort to
find a way to a settlement in
the Middle East need not be
futile," he added.
The first section of the re-
port deals with four major
aspects of the Middle East
situation: "Status of the
cease fire;" "Situation in
the occupied territories;"
"Question of Jerusalem ;"
and the "Palestine refugee
problem."
Waldheim found that the
UN truce observation teams
"proved to be useful as an
independent and impartial
source of information" on the
cease-fire situation despite
certain "shortcomings" in-
cluding the fact that they
have no enforcement power
and are able to observe only
violations that occur along
the borders on which they
are stationed.
Dealing with the situation
in the occupied territories,
Waldheim referred to ada-
mancy on the part of Israel
and the Arab states which
prevented UN agencies from
carrying out on-the-spot in-
vestigations of conditions in
those territories.
He mentioned Israel's in-
sistence that such investiga-
tions be extended to include
the situation of Jewish com-
munities in the Arab states
and the Arabs' unqualified
opposition to such extension.
The report detailed over
several pages resolutions
adopted by the General As-
sembly during the last six
years enjoining Israel from

undertaking policies
and
practices affecting the in-
habitants of the administered
territories and altering the
status of Jerusalem. It noted
that Israel had in no instance
compiled.
Regarding the Palestine
refugee problem, Waldheim
wrote: "When considering
the refugee problem, the
General Assembly has re-
peatedly noted with regret
that the repatriation or com-
pensation of the refugees .. .
has not been effected, that
no substantial progress has
been made in the program
endorsed by its Resolution
513 (VI) for the reintegration
of refugees, either by repa-
triation or resettlement, and
that, therefore, the situation
of the refugees has contin-
ued to be a matter of ser-
ious concern."
The section on "The
Search for a Settlement" con-
tains the text of Resolution
242 and a summary of the
Jarring mission from De-
cember 1967-May 1968. Wald-
heim offered no evaluation
of the success or failure of
the Jarring mission.
Prime Minister Golda Meir
was non-commital in her
comment on UN Secretary-
General Kurt Waldheim's re-
port on the Middle East re-
leased Monday. She said that
if the Secretary-General was
offering the UN machinery
to help bring the parties into
to the good.
But Mrs. Meir observed
Egypt in the past has • re-
jected American efforts in
that direction and the UN's
peace-making record has not
been a great success. She
said that was the fault of
the member states not the
secretary-general.
She claimed that the Mid-
dle East was caused pri-
marily by Arab refusal to
accept Israel's existence.
She said Israel's demand for
secure borders was occa-
sioned by the volatile nature
of the Arab regimes, which
meant that one regime might
not respect treaty obligations
entered into by its prede-
cessor.
Mrs. Meir claimed that
the Palestinians' future lay
in the state of Jordan. She
said they could call it Jor-
dan-Palestine or Palestine-
Jordan if they wished. She
claimed that the plight of the

Palestinians was not com-
parable to Jewish homeless-
ness because there were Jor-
dan and 17 other Arab states
open to them.
Official circles here dis-
played indifference to Wald-
heim's Middle East report,
which emphasized the im-
portance of the UN's role
in finding a way to peace
in the Middle East.
While there was no imme-
diate official reaction to the
report, political observers
expressed the feeling that
Dr. Waldheim's confidence
in the Security Council as an
instrument for a Midddle
East settlement was mis-
placed.
They noted that past reso-
lutions by that body did noth-
ing to reduce tension in the
area. Israeli circles claimed
that it was the secretary gen-
eral's Special representative
to the Middle East, Ambassa-
dor Gunnar V. Jarring, who
110 jeopardized plans for
an interim Suez settlement
with his famous aide mem-
ories of Feb. 1972 in which
he asked both sides to–state
in advance what commit-
ments they would make to-
ward peace.
Observers saw the secre-
tary-general's call for a re-
appraisal of' the Security
Council's roles in the Middle
East as a posssible initiative
for a new formula to solve
the conflict.
The Arab states are re-
portedly pressing for the es-
tablishment of a three-mem-
ber consulative committee of
the Security Council to as-
sist Ambassador Jarring in
a renewed peace mission. Is-
rael is opposed to any change
in Dr. Jarring's mandate.
Waldheim's report was de-
scribed by Israel's UN Am-
bassador Yosef Tekoah as "a
melencholy chonicle of the
known UN failure in peace-
making" in the Middle East.
In a statement issued to
the press, Tekoah claimed
that the UN's failure result-
ed "in particular from
Egypt's persistent refusal to
enter with Israel into nego-
tiations without precondi-
tions."
Observers said, however,
that Israel seemed satisfied
with Waldheim's low-key re-
port but there were uncon-
firmed reports that the Arabs
were unhappy with it.
The observers said the re-
port implied that the Jar-
ring mission was a failure
and that the methods used so
far in the quest for a Mid
East settlement should be
re-examined.
