UN votes to halt Negev fighting and pull Israeli forces
The United Nations Security Council ordered Israel to retire from the Negev and ordered both sides to stop hostilities in southern Palestine. The British drafted resolution passed eight to zero with three abstentions, with the United States abstaining on all sections. Russia and Soviet Ukraine abstained except for the preamble and cease fire order. The measure enlists Dr. Ralph Bunche to supervise and to set an insulation zone, with a Jan. 7 meeting of the truce supervision committee at Lake Success to report on enforcement. Meanwhile, the Netherlands pledged an end to hostilities in Indonesia at midnight Friday and anticipated releasing Sukarno and cabinet members under conditions of public-safety restraint. The U.N. deadline for releasing Indonesian leaders followed a China-proposed resolution and a Christmas Eve cease-fire order that Dutch forces had not yet guaranteed.
