Washington <JTA>—Tiie State Department Monday declined comment on a report from Cairo revealing that Egypt demands that Israel cede the Ncgev to the Arabs as a prerequisite to Egyptian cooperation with the Western powers against Communism. The demand was outlined to American and British correspondents in Cairo Sunday by Maj. Tulah Salem, Egyptian Minister of National Guidance. He said it would be futile to talk of organizing an effective Middle East defense system as Ions as the Ncgcv, which is a part of Israel, separates Egypt from other Arab countries which might bo attacked by. the Red 'Army. Ho emphasized that "the Arabs would never accept" Israel as a member of the Middle East defense systemDeclaring that; American and British diplomats have conceded that the cession of the Ncgev by Israel and placing it under Arab control would expedite the solution of military problems in the Middle East, tho Egyptian minister said that he has done nothing so far to bring this about. In London tho British Foreign Office took a cool view of the Egyptian proposal and reaffirmed the Tripartite Declaration, guaranteeing Israel territory.) A. spokesman for the Israel Embassy here Said that the Egyptian demand "hns thrown light" on the underlying cause for tension between Egypt and Israel. "An arrogant and utterly lawless claim to the NCROV, which is more than half of the Israeli territory, Is at the root of Egyptian policy, and especially of the military harrassmont launched from -Gaza," he said.
