Sharett's words para. 5-7, 63-64, 71
63. Mr. SHARETT (Israel)
withdrew his draft resolution (A/AC.38/L.60) in view of the large majority vote
for the four-Power draft resolution. He had abstained from voting on that
proposal for reasons given earlier, and particularly in connexon with the
Chinese amendment, which Israel had opposed.
64. The Government of Israel
could not accept political or moral responsibility for the resolution in the specific
terms in which it was framed. It was prepared as in the past to enter into
direct negotiations, either independently or under the auspices of the
Conciliation Commission, with the four Arab States with which it had armistice
agreements. Those were the only Arab States with which the question of a peace
treaty arose; however, Israel entertained no hostility toward the other Arab
States. It was prepared to co-operate fully,as in the past, with the
Conciliation Commission, but reserved its position on the specific terms of the
resolution which the Committee had adopted.
