...Israelis continued to flout U.N. authority. Last week they arrested two U.N. observers, explaining that they had been "found wandering around" near the front without their Jewish liaison officer and had simply been "deposited at the bar in their hotel." When the U.N. requested permission for the Egyptians to send food convoys to troops trapped in the Faluja pocket, the Jews stalled. Said one government official: "They are there as a result of their aggression. If they need supplies, we will be willing to accept their surrender...

David Ben Gurion, Prime Minister of Israel, announced peace overtures from two of the principal Arab states, Egypt and Trans-Jordan. The question is whether the big powers with strategic and economic stakes in the Middle East will allow these peace talks to reach a final and successful conclusion...
Since the United States and Great Britain are so vitally concerned with security, it seems odd that they might support a plan throwing Israel into the Soviet orbit. The wisest move by far would be to encourage direct negotiation between Arabs and the Jewish government. When the peace is settled in favor of Israel, as it certainly will be, the U.
