U.N. Warns Israel of Possible Security Council Action
The United Nations Security Council warned Israel it may face punishment if attacks on Arab neighbors continue. The Western sponsored resolution, adopted unanimously, condemns the December 11 raid on Syrian outposts near the Sea of Galilee as a violation of the Palestine armistice and Israel’s U.N. Charter duties. It states future noncompliance could bring further measures under the charter, including diplomatic boycott, economic blockade, or military action. Israeli delegate Abba Eban cautioned the resolution could be seen as endorsing Arab belligerency. Israel says the attack was retaliation for Syrian harassment of Israeli boats on the inland lake.
