Again, Eban contends that its
role was decisive, even if Secre-
tary-General U Thant's prompt
compliance with Egyptian de-
mands to evacuate Gaza and
Sharm el-Sheikh in 1967 precip-
itated the Six-Day War.
"In 1949," he recalled, "the UN
very skilfully orchestrated four
armistice agreements. Those
agreements created enough sta-
bility for Israel to get on with its
job. That job was to create an
army, to get in the immigrants
and to build a diplomatic world
relationship."
How about the UN's role in the
1956 Suez-Sinai war?
"There was an anti-Anglo-
French reaction, which was very
fierce because the United States
was boiling with rage to such an
extent that it almost didn't care
about the Israeli aspect. By not
winning that war, Britain and
France excluded themselves from
the Big-Power equation. They've
never recovered since then.
"On the other hand, Israel re-
cuperated something from it. We
did get free passage through the
Suez Canal, free passage in the
Gulf of Aqaba. The UN force in
Sharm kept navigation to Eilat
open; Tankers could come in from
Iran, which solved our energy
problems.
"We also got a UN force in
Gaza. For 11 years there was not
one single shot fired in anger
against Israel from Gaza. That
was because the Gaza Strip was
filled with Norwegians and all
kinds of nations, and the Egypt-
ian army did not come back. Only
the Egyptian administrators
came back.
"Therefore, I would say that
the UN made a definite contri-
bution to the stabilizing element
in Israel's first decade."
And the UN's compliance with
Gamal Abdel Nasser's demand
to pull out of Sharm and Gaza in
1967?
"Looking back now," Eban con-
ceded, "what U Thant did was
legally irresistible. Peacekeeping
depends on the hospitality of the
host power, which was Egypt. He
didn't have the right to say no.
But I think that U Thant could
have stalled.
"But after the war there's an-
other episode in the UN record,
a reversal of the negative role.
The General Assembly began to
meet in June 1967, and went on
into July. During that period
there were five resolutions ask-
ing Israel to withdraw from all
the occupied territories without
a peace settlement. And those five
resolutions were defeated for lack
of support.
"That gave us legitimacy for
staying in the territories so long
as there was no peace...If we'd
been stripped of the territories
then, we would have had no
negotiated peace to the end of
history." Cl
