Mr. Goldberg
The United States voted for the draft resolution presented by
3 See resolution 235 (1967).
41. I would be less than candid if I did not also say that the delay was not due to the parties involved. Both parties involved were ready for us to proceed at 10 a.m. Now, what is the delay due to? It is, in my opinion, more than time to call a spade a spade. The delay is due to the fact that other membe…
Mr. Fedorenko
The Security Council, convened at the request of Syria, has just taken, as an extraordinary, urgent and provisional measure, a decision concerning the continuing aggression of Israel, in this case against the Syrian Arab Republic. The decision is a further condemnation of Israel’s aggression, which continues in defiance of the Security Council’s already adopted decisions.
53. It is clear from th…
The President
I can assure the representative of the Soviet Union that the President is willing to co-operate to reach any decision which it is the general wish of members of the Council to adopt.
81. An important part of this resolution is operative paragraph 3, because it is, in our view,. essential that responsibility for steps to bring about immediate compliance with the Council’s resolution be clearly es…
Mr. Parthasarathi
Before I turn to the most dangerous situation in the Middle East may I, with your permission, Mr, President, say a few words about the further killing by Israelis of Indian soldiers serving with the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF). The Secretary- General has informed the Council that another Indian soldier has been killed and seven others wounded. In addition, it is reported that twelve Ind…
Mr. Tomeh
Thank you, Mr. President, and I wish also to express my thanks to the representative who was courteous enough to allow me to take the floor to make this very brief statement.
133. As soon as the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution S/7960, I called my Foreign Minister in Damascus and talked with him over the telephone; that was at 2.15 p.m. He instructed me to inform the Security Coun…
The President
I now call upon the United States representative, who wishes to exercise his right of reply.
143, Did Israel first concentrate forces along the Egyptian border? Did Israel impose a blockade, a warlike act, against any of the Arab States? Did Israel proclaim that it intended to destroy the Arab States? Did Israel prepare and organize a liberation war against the Arab States?
Mr. Goldberg
The innuendo of the Soviet representative that the United States did not use its influence with Israel and the adjacent Arab States to exercise restraint and avoid recourse to force is totally unfounded. The Council is aware of the public record of our efforts, and the Soviet Government, perhaps more than any other Government, knows of our private diplomatic efforts to this end. I only wish that …
The President
I now invite the representative of Israel to ,take a place at the Council table and to make a statement.
140. Mr, RAFAEL (Israel): The representative of the Soviet Union has deemed it fit, in the course of the last few days while this debate has been going on, to hurl insult after insult and vituperation at my Government and its
146. The representative of the Soviet Union has done nothing in th…
Mr. Fedorenko
In my statement at this meeting of the Council 1 asked a direct question, which I shall repeat. We should like to have a direct and unequivocal answer from Israel to this question: Why is the Tel-Aviv Government not withdrawing its troops from the territory which it has occupied in the United Arab Republic and Jordan; and, furthermore, why is it seizing new territory in Syria? We put this questio…
The President
I call on the representative of the United States in exercise of his right of reply.
1.58. Mr. GOLDBERG (United States of America): We have heard and we welcome the declaration by the representative of Syria accepting the cease-fire resolution adopted by the Council this morning. The Council has the right to expect, within the time allowed, a similar affirmative response by Israel, I note that t…
The President
I now invite the representative of Syria to take a place at the Council table and to make a statement.
Mr. Tomeh
Thank you, Mr. President, for allowing me to address the Council once again. I would not hhve done so had it not been for the necessity to reply to some of the distortions directly concerning Syria and the other Arab States that were contained in the invective statements made by the representative of Israel. However, I
166. In his closing statement, the representative of Israel challenged the Sy…
The President
The next speaker on my list is the representative of Israel, whom I invite to take a place at the Council table and to make his statement.
Mr. Rafael
I assume that at this stage the Council is more interested in our reply with respect to the resolution that was adopted a short while ago than in continuing this sterile debate of answering false accusations made by various representatives. I shall have the opportunity to refer to those false accusations at a later stage.
163. The representative of Israel communicated the resolution of the Secur…
The Secretary-General
The cables to the two Governments of Israel and Syria, conveying the Security Council resolution of today [23.5 (1967)], were dispatched immediately after the adoption of that resolution, Ambassador Daoudy of Syria informed me orally at 2.15 p.m. today that he had just spoken to Damascus and relayed the latest Security Council resolution. According to Ambassador Daoudy, Syria accepts the terms of…
The President
I thank the Secretary-General for his statement.
179. Members of the Council have now heard the statement of the Secretary-General to the effect that the Governments of Syria and Israel have both accepted to comply with the resolution adopted by the Council today, resolution 235 (1967), calling for a cessation forthwith of hostilities,
180. I am sure that I express the feelings of all members w…
The President
We have now received the reply from Israel, in writing, I would ask the Secretary-General to read it out to us.
186, The SECRETARY-GENERAL: Mr. President, I have just received a communication from the Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations. The text of the communication reads as follows:
“9 June 1967 “1505 hours
“I have the honour to confirm what I said in the Security Counci…
The President
The representative of the Soviet Union has drawn the attention of the Council to the fact that Syria in its reply has accepted the resolution, while Israel has accepted the resolution provided that Syria accepts it and will implement the cease-fire.
Mr. Fedorenko
Mr. President, I am very grateful to you for giving due attention to our statement. Nevertheless, we consider it essential once again to point out that the position reflected in the Israel reply is not clear.
189. As we have just heard, the Syrian Government was the first to answer, accepting the Security Council’s decision without attaching any conditions; and it made a statement here in the Se…
The President
I wish to draw the attention of the representative of the Soviet Union to the fact that the representative of Israel conveyed the information upon instruction from his Government. I am not aware whether his Government was aware of the statement made in this Council when it instructed the Israel representative. But the Israel representative has asked to make a statement, which may perhaps clarify …
