is being spotlighted by an
ongoing, relentless Arab
public campaign to exclude
her from the UN General
Assembly, and, if possible,
to oust Israel completely
from the world body.
"I came to the United
Nations with no illusions,"
Herzog declared in an inter-
view with the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency. "I am fully
aware of the prejudice
against the Jewish state on
the part of the majority
here. But I am determined
to defend Israel in the best
way I can."
The envoy, who held var-
ious command and staff
posts in the Israel Defense
Forces, including the post of
director of military intellig-
ence (1948-1950, and
1959-1962) said he believes
that the second interim
agreement in the Sinai - re-
duces the danger of a new
outbreak of war in the Mi-
deast.
During the interview,
Herzog also discussed the
upcoming General Assem-
bly, the lessons of the Yom
Kippur War and his per-
sonal approach to his new
diplomatic mission.
Following are excerpts
from the interview:
JTA: Lately there has
been a lot of talk about the
Arabs moving to expel Is-
rael from the next General
Assembly. In your opinion,
is this really going to occur?
Herzog: It is very difficult
to evaluate exactly what
will happen. Those who are
instigating this anti-Israel
move do not seem to be sure
of their next steps. How-
ever, they must be aware
that this attack on Israel is
boomeranging to Israel's
advantage. In their attack
they have already passed
the line of counter-produc-
tivity and it has brought
clear statements in favor of
Israel and against any move
to expel or suspend her from
the world organization.
Such statements have
already come from the
European countries, the
Nordic countries, the So-
cialist leaders of Europe
during their recent meet-
ing in Stockholm, and it
brought about a split be-
tween the Arabs and some
African states during their
recent conference in Kam-
pala, Uganda.
JTA: Where does the
USSR stand on the issue of
Israel's expulsion?
Herzog: The general indi-
cation is that the Soviets
support the universality of
the United Nations and
therefore are against the
move to ban Israel from the
General Assembly. I have
not met any Soviet diplo-
mats since I arrived here
two weeks ago and, as I
said, this is the impression
among the diplomats here.
JTA: What's ahead for
Israel in this year's General
Assembly?
the General Assembly. We
can expect the automatic
majority without any rela-
tion to the rights and
wrong of the issue. As in
previous assemblies, it is
certain that all the usual
anti-Israel resolutions will
be adopted.
conceived idea or concept
as binding. We live in a
very volatile area and we
must adapt ourselves to
the fluidity of the situation
in the area. We must un-
derstand the multifarious
aspects of a defensive pos-
ture. The big mistake be-
fore the Yom Kippur War
was to see in the Suez
Canal a major answer to
our military problems.
JTA: Even with an in-
terim agreement?
Herzog: Even with the
agreement, the Arab ap-
proach might be lower in
tone but not in substance.
We can expect less acrimon-
ious debates but the anti-
Israel resolutions, as I said,
will be there.
JTA: Soon we will be
marking the second anniver-
sary of the Yom Kippur
War. In retrospect, what are
the major lessons for Israel
to learn from that war?
We have ignored the over-
all importance of economic
strength. A country with e
deficit of $3.5 billion is no
in the strongest bargaining
position.
