...missiles in the Middle East is matched by an equally angry war of words in the belligerent capitals and in New York City, where both sides have traded rhetorical blows at the United Nations. Last week TIME Correspondent Lansing Lamont had separate interviews with Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban and Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed El Zayyat.

...Eban: There was no peace settlement in 1967. Egypt, Jordan and Syria were very content to accept a cease-fire proposed by the United Nations Security Council, which saved them from further military defeat.

...Zayyat: We support the evacuation of all our lands. We insist on it. We got 13 votes for our interpretation last July in the Security Council. It was [America's] idea that "constructive ambiguity," a phrase coined by Mr. Eban and borrowed by Mr. John Scali [U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.], was a good thing.
