ISRAEL’S RELATIONS WITH U.N.
Mr Aubrey Eban, the Israeli delegate to the United Nations, described the successful armistice negotiations as a significant achievement for the United Nations. He added that the agreement was an important landmark in the relations of Israel with the United Nations and the Arab World. Mr Eban said that Israel had conlistently maintained that direct negotiations were the surest road to peace in the Near East. He praised the part played by the United Nations acting mediator (Dr. Ralph Bunche) in the armistice negotiations.
Israeli officials in New York said that they would revive Israel’s application for United Nations membership within a few days. The success of the armistice negotiations has virtually assured Israel of approval by the Security Council, which rejected the Israeli application last December in Paris, when several Council members, disturbed by the situation then prevailing in Palestine, refused to give theft approval. Saudi Arabia and Iraq have replied to an invitation from Dr Bunche to open armistice talks with Israel. They said they would accept whatever decisions were agreed between Israel and the other Arab League countries.
