"It Is Indeed hard to comprehend how any government which values Its moral position can give or sell arms to governments whose primary international objective Is to harass, besiege intimidate, and if possible destroy a neighboring state with which they refuse to establish peace," Mr. *£ban said. "It certainly cannot be righteous for any power to do that which is wrong for an^ other power to do. Can It be assumed that Israel, or indeed any state in like circumstances, would lie content to wait passively while a hostile neighbor, asserting or practicing n state of war, strengthened- himself for the decisive blow?" he asked. Reiterating Israel's desire for peace with tlie Arab countries. Ambassador Khan told tho UN Assembly: "There are no problems outstanding between Israel und the Arab states which would for so much as a 'few weeks survive a mutual decision to solve them by n e g o t a t i o n . The tragedy of the Middle East lies iipt only in the Arab refusal to envisage peace and mutual recognition, but, even more acutely. In the painful consciousness of the rich potentiality which lies so close to our common door. "If we arc denied this fair prospect of conciliation; if conflict and controversy are forced upon us, we shall deploy ourselves accordingly," Mr. Eban warned. "Some might B'li that our efforts to consolidate our statehood and defend our interests during seven years of relentless siege have not been unsuccessful. But the vision which attends us when we enter this hall of peace, Is the vision it regional harmony and cooperation. However vigorously our neighbor* now, reject this prospect, we are convinced that it must finally prevail. "It was in that spirit that my delegation last year proclaimed from this platform its readiness to fortify the Armistice Agreement* by new pledges of non-aggression, and of mutual respect for political Independence and territorial Integrity. We do not regret that suggestion, we uphold it stilL Similarity, Israel's cooperation is assured for any well-founded effort from outside our region to stabilize 'its security and to advance its progress."
