Britain lifts embargo on arms to Middle East
London announced a temporary end to the arms embargo to the Middle East after not securing a broader agreement with the Soviet Union and other powers. Foreign Secretary George Brown cited lack of immediate prospects for a general embargo and said Britain would revert to normal processing of arms licenses while continuing intensive diplomacy at the United Nations and major capitals. He stressed that a ceasefire settlement must include limits on arms shipments and noted ongoing talks on borders, shipping freedom, the Suez Canal, and Palestinian refugees.
