Israel Firm on Repatriation of Arab Refugees
Re-Entry to be Limited by Original Proposal, Government Insists
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Tel Aviv
Transcribed from the clipping
“Tel Aviv — (JTA) — For the time being Israel is not inclined to repatriate Arab refugees nor to pay them compensation except within the framework of an overall peace, as it outlined earlier, Gordon R. Clapp, chairman of the UN economic survey mission, told newsmen just before he and his party boarded a plane for Beirut… He revealed that these projects would affect in Israel about 30,000 Arabs and 18,000 Jewish refugees. He also said that his party had met with no rebuff on the plan in any Arab capital where it had discussed the matter and that the Arabs were prepared to collaborate in such projects.”
Context added by this archive
The position stated plainly by a United Nations official: no return, and no compensation, outside a full peace.
