Squabble. Before U.S. Ambassador John Scali had a chance to reply to the Arab charges, a squabble broke out between the Russian and Chinese ambassadors. Yakov Malik insisted that any resolution on the Middle East make reference to the nonuse of force in international relations.

Unimpressed by Washington's unusually vigorous expressions of official regret, Soviet Ambassador Yakov Malik interrupted the somnolent China debate the day after the incident and for the better part of two days kept an emotional Middle East debate going. Demanding the floor, Malik raged about what he saw as U.S. reluctance to take action against the J.D.L. It was time, he sputtered...
