The President
The representative of the Soviet Union has proposed that a text of the draft resolution submitted by the representative of Canada be circulated, and that pending the distribution of the text we proceed with our debate. 18. The representative of Bulgaria has asked to speak on a point of order.
Mr. Tarabanov (Bulgaria)
We have just adopted a resolution calling for a cease-fire. We are awaiting the adoption of another draft resolution, submitted by the representative of Canada, designed to enable certain members of the Security Council and the Secretariat to take action. 20. In the meantime, while the debate continues, I believe that it is the President’s duty to take immediate measures to ensure that the resol…
The President
May I inform the Council that measures to accelerate the work are already in progress. Cables will be sent immediately. The Secretariat has alread) started work on the matter. 22.

The President
I now invite the Foreign Minister of Israel to take a place at the Council table and make a statement.
Mr. Eban (Israel)
Nothing more absurd has ever been said at an international forum than that the United Kingdom and the United States took part in the military operations with which Israel was involved this week. Israel received not one single ounce of help from anybody in repelling the aggressive design to which I referred yesterday. 41. A second thesis that has been developed here, both by the representative of…
Mr. Goldberg (United States of America)
Just a few minutes ago, the Council heard once again from the representative of the United Arab Republic, Mr. El Kony, accusations ‘against my country of participation in the unhappy conflict which is taking place in the Near East. 66. Just now, we heard the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Israel state that his country, if I understood him correctly, has already agreed to abide by the Security C…
The President
I call on the representative of the United Kingdom in exercise of his right of reply. 70. Lord CARADON (United Kingdom): I would have very much wished not to have to intervene again in this debate in exercise of my right of reply, but I must say one 72. The evidence is there, that we were perhaps the first to wish to convene the Council, We were amongst the first to back support for the Secreta…
The President
Steps have been taken to circulate the letter to which the representative of the United Kingdom just referred, I call on the representative of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. 7.5, Mr, FEDORENKO (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) (translated from Russian): At the meetings of the Security Council in the course of the past few days the representatives of certain countries have, as we ha…
The President
It has been brought to my attention that the Secretary-General has received new information on developments in the area. I believe that all members of the Council will wish to hear the Secretary-General before we proceed with our debate. “1. Situation report at 10 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time. Report on situation in Jerusalem City area during the night of 6/7 June: “(a) Israel forces continued bomb…
Mr. Ignatieff (Canada)
Earlier this afternoon, after I had suggested and read out my draft resolution, the representative of the Soviet Union quite properly requested a written text, I believe that all members of the Council now have the text. It is simple and straightforward and it is intended simply to fill an obvious gap in definition of responsibility in regard to the implementation of the two cease-fire resolution…
Mr. Tarabanov (Bulgaria)
We submitted our proposal before the motion of the representative of Canada. I think that my colleague on the left-although he is not always on the left-has misunderstood my proposal, and I should therefore like to explain it more fully. I proposed that the meeting should be adjourned until the time when the cease-fire was supposed to go into effect, so that we could obtain additional information…
The President
The situation as I see it is as follows. If my memory is correct, the representative of BuIgaria asked a question in his earlier intervention; he said: We seruit-il pas bon d’ajourner notre siance? ” I did not take that as a formal motion for adjournment. 90. A formal motion for suspension of the meeting has now been made. A question has been put by the representative of Bulgaria, whether the re…
Mr. Ignatieff (Canada)
As you correctly say, Mr. President, the rules of procedure give priority to a motion for suspension of the meeting. I have in fact moved for a suspension of the meeting. If it is more convenient to my colleague from Bulgaria to have an adjournment for half an hour instead of fifteen minutes, that would be agreeable to me. I do not believe a suspension is made sille die. or simply to later in the…
The President
A motion has been made for an adjournment for half an hour, If there is no objection, the meeting will be adjourned for half an hour.
Mr. Tarabanov (Bulgaria)
We are opposed to an adjournment that would last only half an hour. We feel that the meeting should be. adjourned and that the President should reconvene the 95.’ The PRESIDENT: A motion has been made to adjourn the meeting for half an hour. That would be a motion under rule 33, paragraph 3. If I understood him correctly, the representative of Canada agreed to change his motion from a motion to …
Mr. Ignatieff (Canada)
I am sorry, Mr. President, but I did not agree to changing my motion for suspension to one for adjournment, I asked if the representative of Bulgaria would accept my suggestion for a half-hour’s suspension, which he did not. My motion for suspension therefore stands.
The President
In that case, then, there is motion to suspend the meeting, under rule 33, paragraph 1, for fifteen minutes. I have to put this motion to a vote without debate. 98. I call on the representative of Ethiopia on a point of order.
Mr. Makonnen (Ethiopia)
Would you allow me, Mr. President, to make an appeal by way of a point of order, It seems to me that we are departing from the spirit of co-operation that has characterized our work in the last few critical days. One welcome sign in the decisions we have taken so far in the urgent effort to halt hostilities is the unanimity that has characterized our action. This is a tendency which we should enc…
Mr. Makonnen (Ethiopia)
Speaking again on a point of order, I was hoping that the representative of Canada, whom I know to be a gentle and co-operative man, would not insist on rushing a draft resolution of this kind through the Council when one of his colleagues is making an appeal to him SO that the Council may be able to continue in its concerted action. However, if it is your understanding, Mr. President, that the r…
