...United Nations, Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban sternly rejected any multinational effort to mediate a settlement as merely providing the Arabs with a shelter against "the necessity of peace." Then, flying from New York to Strasbourg to address the Council of Europe, Eban turned to a more hopeful future by proposing an economic union of Israel, Lebanon and Jordan-a notion that even he had to admit wryly was "perhaps Utopian."
