Bunche Opens Talks as Egypt Refuels Gaza Crisis
U.N. mediator Ralph Bunche began meetings with Egyptian officials amid fears of a fresh Middle East crisis as Egypt moves to resume control of the Gaza Strip. Egypt argues Gaza is under Egyptian authority while the UNEF would administer the coastal area. Israel warns of consequences if attacks resume. The situation sparks calls for exclusive UNEF administration until a peace settlement is reached, with Hammarskjold noting the Egyptian move as regrettable.
