Arabs Balk U N Armistice Order
The UN Security Council ordered Jews and Arabs to negotiate a quick armistice in Palestine. Arabs balk at negotiating with any Israeli government, threatening a long war. Ahmad Sherairy warned of continued defense efforts, likening peace offers to Nazi diplomacy. The 8 to 1 vote left Syria against, with Russia and the US abstaining. The council retained prior demands for withdrawal from positions in the Negev and set lines for armistice, while Bunche plans to urge Cairo and Jerusalem to sit down or work through him.
