Treaties Created Imbalance in N.E. Washington (JTA)—Israel Embossy officials declined comment here on the speech delivered Sunday before the conference of Jewish organizations by John D, Jcrncgan, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Afaint, on Middle Eastern defense developments. Israel circles were reported to feel that this speech completely mlMed the central point In the current discussions between the two governments. The Israel view, a» expressed by Prime Minister Slinrett last week nnd Ambassador Abba Eban yesterday, Is that the Imbalance eronted by recent Western treaties In the Middlo East entitled Israel to receive two things: a firm guarantee of her territorial Integrity and" appropriate military assistance to redress the disturbed balance..These are regarded In Israel circle* as tho two minimal and Immedate remedies for the Insecurity created for Israel by developments initiated In the area by, or under the influence of the United States. The question of Israel's association with other states in a regional defense project Is regarded In Israel circles as a different and relatively separate subject. The Government of Israel has not published specific views or proposals on this matter which Is not the mnln point at Issue, Ilcgardloss of the question of defense organization, Israel Is said to fee) that the United States has n moral and palltlcal responsibility to act on Its specific claims.
