The President
Another draft resolution has been submitted to the Council in this connexion by the United States of America [S/10723/. In view of the adoption by the Council just now of the draft resolution contained in document S/10722, and in accordance with established
3 See resolution 316 (1972).
85. Mr, BUSH (United States of America): In my statement on Saturday [16#9th meeting], I described the positio…
Mr. Jamieson
My delegation co-sponsored and has voted for the draft resolution we have just adopted because we consider that it fairly reflects the situation which precipitated this series of meetings and strikes an appropriate balance, as indeed I attempted to do in my intervention on Saturday. The resolution makes clear the view of the Council that the repeated attacks of Israeli forces on Lebanese territor…
Mr. De Guiringaud
After having listened to the speakers who have explained their votes, I should like to add a few words.
105. My delegation feels that the scope of this resolution which we have just adopted is limited to its subject-matter, namely, the attacks perpetrated last week against Lebanon, and when we express the strong desire that appropriate steps will lead, as an immediate consequence, to the release…
Mr. Tekoah
Perhaps the oddest statements made in the Council have been those of the representative of India. I refrained from answering him last time. He has compelled me to reply to his statement today, and I shall do that by a simple suggestion: that he compare his statements in this debate with those made by him and by his Foreign Minister in the Security Council and in the General Assembly only several …
Mr. SEN
We voted for the resolution which has just been adopted and had been so diligently prepared after exten&e negotiations and so ably piloted by the representative of France on behalf of the three delegations. We voted for it because this resolution meets generally the criteria I set down on Saturday on behalf of the Indian delegation. However, we should make it clear that the language of paragraph …
The President
I call on the representative of the Soviet Union, who wishes to speak on a point of order.
Mr. Malik
Mr. President, I protest at the fact that the Israeli representative, with his usual malicious anti-Sovietism, is raising an internal question concerning the Soviet Union-the so-called Jewish question in the Soviet Union. No such problem has existed, exists or will exist. It was invented by the Israeli aggressors in order to cover up their aggressive actions against the Arab world and to turn the…
Mr. Tekoah
I did not interrupt the Soviet representative when he made his statement, but, in view of his last remarks, I should like to protest against the abuse which he directed against the person of the Prime Minister of Israel, a lady, Mrs. Meir.
121. The representative of the USSR should know by now that in international relations Israel will not agree-as the Jews of the Soviet Union do not-that there…
Mr. Tomeh
I wish first of all to confirm the stand of the Syrian Government regarding the five Syrian officers and Lebanese officers and security personnel who are now detained in Israel. The manner in which these officers were abducted-an abduction recognized by the Council’s resolution voted upon today-is, as I have already had occasion to state, a grave violation of international law. If no action were …
Mr. Ghorra
If I were to reply to the mass of accusations, falsehoods and fabrications that
8 New York, Hougton-Mifflin, 1972.
160. Mr, Tekoah the other day showed his magnanimity and his kind hospitality by inviting me-as he later invited my colleague and brother, Ambassador Abdel Meguid of Egypt--to visit the occupied territories and to see for myself in what wonderful conditions the Arab peoples are liv…
Mr. Tekoah
The hour being late, I do hope I shall be able to make only a few observations, and brief ones, regarding the statements we have just heard from the representatives of Lebanon and Syria.
184. I would only add one comment on the question of refugees, This is one of the difficulties we face again and again ln these debates: Why cannot we try and remain faithful to facts and to truth? Is it necessa…
Mr. Malik
I shall be very brief. After listening carefully to the statement of the Israeli representative, his quotations, his dramatization, his habitual dose of anti-Soviet outbursts, I have come to the conclusion that, although the resolution which we have adopted is a weak one, it has bit the mark. It is just, it reveals who is the aggressor and condemns him; no outpouring of words and no quotations ca…
Mr. Tomeh
In every problem there are derivative problems or derivative aspects of the problem and there is the essence or the substance of the problem. The question that I pose to the Council in all objectivity and sobriety is: why is it that the League of Nations dealt throughout the span of its life and the United Nations has been dealing from 1947 up till now with the Palestine problem and its derivativ…
Mr. Ghorra
Mr. President, I made a promise to you and to the members of the Security Council that I would not speak again. So therefore I should only like to tell Mr. Tekoah that the dispatch from which I quoted regarding Mr. Allon’s statement is by the Associated Press writer Hal McClure, and that it just came on the ticker this afternoon.
