With all due respect, Mr. President, I had, I thought, made it clear that I was responding to the statement made by the chainnan of the non-aligned group of nations. You, yourself, Sir, introduced the speaker in that capacity, and in the first sentences of his statement he explicitly said that he wa…
My country was assailed virulently this morning by Cuba, which addressed the Assembly as the spokesman ofthe non-aligned group of nations [31st meeting]. One is bound to note that Cuba follows a very odd form of non-alignment. Indeed, its track record scarcely qualifies it as a non-aligned country a…
The Jordanian representa- tive has again tried to falsify the history of the Middle East but, as is well known, the Arab countries, includ- ing Transjordan, vowed to destroy General Assembly resolution 181 (II) of29 November 1947 and then set out to destroy it by the force of arms. Transjordan-that …
This Assembly is con- fronted with a startling and, for many, an unacceptable fact: peace is being made in the Middle East.

In our statement during the debate on the policies of apartheid of the Government of South Africa [58th meeting], I remarked that we were engaged, not in a process of deliberation, but in a ritualistic incantation which has severely undermined the very purpose of the annual debate on apartheid. I al…
On behalf of the Group of Western European and other States, I would like to extend our sincere congratulations to His Excellency Mr. Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser of the State of Qatar on his election to the presidency at the sixty-sixth session of the General Assembly.

The nations of the Middle East stand today at a crucial turning-point in their history. For the first time in 30 years of conflict and warfare, they have the opportunity to break out of a seemingly endless and intractable cycle of violence, destruction and suffering, and to embrace a new era of peac…
My delegation did not take part in the discussion on this agenda item in the SiXth Committee, so I wish now, first of all, to associate my delegation with the resolution adopted by consensus a few moments ago. Our general policy towards the fruitful initiative taken by the Federal Republic of German…
My delegation very much regrets that it was necessary to bring the recommendation of the Fifth Committee contained in paragraph 13 of document A/33/363 to a recorded vote.

That, after all, was the subject of the debate, and I referred repres~ntatives to the verba…
The . draft resolutions adopted by the Spec!:ll Political Com- mittee on the basis of the report of the Special Committee of investigation are offensive to Israel and slander our country, to such an extent that it is my duty to affirm once again and in public the position of my delegation on their s…
My delegation's position on what are now draft resolutions A, B, C, D and F in document A!32!351 was explained in detail in the Special Political Committee as recorded in paragraph 18 of docu- ment A!SPC!32!SR21, paragraphs 4 and 22 of document A!SPC!32!SR.22 and paragraph 5 of A!SPC!32/SR.24. 1

The day before yesterday in the Fifth Committee, my delegation supported the extension of the mandate of UNEF and UNDOF and will refrain from entering again into an ambiguous dialogue with some of the previous speakers. It is beneath our dignity even to comment on the allegations made by the Syrian …
Yesterday in this hall [88th meetingJ ( expressed the hope that the General Assembly would rise to the challenge offered by the current moves towards peace. Instead, by proposing to endorse the two draft resolutions before us, the Assembly is allying itself firmly with the forces ofrejection and ref…

My delegation has participated in the consensus on this resolution because Israel, as a principal target of the forces ofinternational terror, is only too aware of the urgency of this problem. However, let me say at the outset that the resolution is a disappoL,ting one. It is weak, for it is a compr…
In explaining my delegation's vote on the financing of UNEF and UNDOF, I wish to make it clear that the Government of Israel regards the
presence of UNEF and UNDOF as an integral part of the Agreement on Disengagement of Forces between Israel and Egypt entered into freely by both Governments in Jan…
