NEW YORK (JTA)—Is-
rael's Ambassador to the
United Nations, Chaim Her-
z o g , declared that
"whomsoever advocates a
return to the 1967 lines (be-
tween Israel and her neigh-
bors), however well mean-
ing he may be, is enunciat-
ing a formula for a re-
newed war in the Middle
East."
Addressing a dinner spon-
sored by the American
Board of Overseers of Bar-
Ilan University at the Hil-
ton Hotel, celebrating the
election of Dr. Emanuel
Rackman as the univer-
sity's president, Herzog
said that at the heart of the
Arab-Israeli conflict "lies
the Arab refusal to recog-
nize the right of the Jewish
nation to self-determination
and national sovereignty."
The Israeli envoy, who re-
ceived an honorary Docto-
rate of Law degree at the
dinner, told the more than
700 guests that "there is no
alternative to direct face to
face negotiations for peace
in the Mideast.
