Transcribed from the clipping
“UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UP)—Israel stood fast in the Gaza Strip and along Egypt’s Gulf of Aqaba coast today, defying the U.N. Assembly’s sixth resolution calling on her to withdraw her troops behind the 1949 armistice line.
The Israeli Cabinet in Jerusalem announced it would still keep occupation forces for the time being in the Gaza Strip and in the Sharm el Sheikh area on the Red Sea Gulf of Aqaba.
A Foreign Ministry spokesman said, ‘No guarantees have been obtained yet for definite stoppage of Egypt’s belligerence and sea blockade of Israel.’… Israel had been seeking guarantees against renewal of Arab commando raids from the Gaza Strip and resumption of Egypt’s artillery blockade of Israel-bound shipping through the Gulf of Aqaba… The strip, haven for some 200,000 Palestine Arab refugees, is former Palestine territory that Egypt administered provisionally before Israel began its invasion Oct.
29.”
