EGYPT REJECTS TRUCE
Recd. 12.42 a.m. London, May 26. Egypt rejected the United Nations cease fire order in Palestine. A spokesman in Cairo said the Egyptian Government rejected the order because “the Arab armies were fighting Zionist gangs whose word cannot be depended on, and acceptance would enable the gangs to increase armaments, and bring in more immigrants, and because it is not normal in international relations to treat regular armies the same way as gangs, mostly consisting of foreigners wishing to impose their wills on original inhabitants.”
