AGGRESSION CHARGES
U.N. Council To Meet
(N.Z.P A -Reuter—Copyright) NEW YORK, March 28.
The United Nations Security Council will meet today to discuss charges against each other by Syria and Israel, stemming from recent violence in the Sea of Galilee area.
Both nations asked for the session, the first in almost a year on the long-standing Arab-Israeli conflict. Syria accused Israel of ’’aggression.” Israel answered: "Self-defence.” and asserted that Syrian units had started, the trouble.
Last night, the chief of the United Nations Truce Supervisory Organisation, MajorGeneral Carl Carlsson van Horn, reixmted that both States had agreed in principle to have the United Nations send military observers to the demilitarised zone and so-called “defensive areas” to check whether troops recently moved in there had been withdrawn. In an earlier 13-page report to the council on the conflict, which reached a peak on the night of March 16 with a seven-hour gun battle, Genera] van Horn said that suspicion about the military situation in these regions was a main source of current tension between Syria and Israel.
Delegates of both sides will be invited to join council members in discussion today, without voting rights.
