Fawzi A 1 Mulki, the Transjordan Foreign Minister, sent a message to the Council that its questions were inspired by the United States, that the United States had not recognise.d Transjordan in over two years, while it recognised Israel in a matter of hours, and that the United Nations had rebuffed Transjordan’s application for membership.
