Bevin cites grave Middle East threat after cabinet meet
London January 12 foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin told a lengthy cabinet session of latest Palestine developments described as a grave threat to peace in the Middle East. The three hour meeting produced no immediate action and both sides blamed each other for the crisis amid renewed tensions after five RAF planes were destroyed along the Palestine Egypt border last Friday. Armistice talks with Egypt due to start in Rhodes this week were put off as Egypt's delegation plans remained unclear. British and Israeli officials warned of danger while Dr Ralph Bunche, UN mediator, arrived at Rhodes and awaits high level participation.
