Hammarskjold urges Middle East led peace not imposed from outside
U N Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold warned the Security Council against pressuring for a peace settlement in Israel and its Arab neighbors. He urged the Middle East nations to initiate any end to the conflict, saying external imposition could derail cease fire gains and open the door to new peace efforts. He returned to New York after securing reaffirmations from Israel, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan on cease fire pledges from the 1949 armistice. The Wall Street Journal noted Western and Soviet diplomats discuss re engaging Hammarskjold to promote a lasting settlement.
