He speaks of controls here, (edit) that would have been generated, bitterness which always interferes with the negotiations such as we have before us. I conclude Mr. President, by saying that I wish to encourage the Mediator & the Trust Commission & the parties that they control, that the United Nations will continue to help all it can towards a solution that will be best & that will be acceptable.” 00:23:45 ?? “...I wish to inform the Security Council that on May 15th the Arab governments made the following appeal to their own peoples. Hundreds of thousands of Jews live actually in Arab countries where they enjoy all the privileges & rights enjoyed by Arabs themselves. They are perhaps even better placed than in any civilized country. Despite all the atrocities committed by the Zionists the Arab States proclaim their determination to safeguard the rights of Jews in their respective countries. Edited. 00:24:38 Session ends.
