Israeli ' no ' to U.N. peace bid
NZPA-Reuter Jerusalem Israel has rejected Middle East peace resolutions adopted by the United Nations general assembly, saying they served only to strengthen extremist Arab elements.
The Foreign Ministry said that both proposals calling for a reconvened Middle East peace conference in Geneva were “two sides of the same coin that combine war threats with attempts to dictate to us the terms of negotiations." “Both resolutions serve only to strengthen Arab ex tremists by having the Palestinian terrorists admit ted by the back door to the meeting," a statement said. “These new moves do n< t further the cause of Middle East peace." The Ministry said that Is rael stood by a resolution it introduced at the United Nations on Monday calling for the reconvened peace conference but limiting participation to the original members — Egypt, Syria. Jordan, and Israel, as well as the United States and Soviet Union as co-chairmen, but without the Palestine Liberation Organisation.
