W: I want to keep you informed of the developments here. Zahed (?)
came to see the President and saw him in my presence. He asked him to
convene an urgent meeting of the General Assembly. I mentioned this to
you that he had already suggested that to me. He came then personally
to the President requesting him to convene the meeting. The President
reacted as I did. He said it was not technically possible. He cannot do it
SO quickly. After a lengthly conversation El Zahed agreed to send him
a letter which he had prepared and signed in the office of the President
and instead of having a special meeting of the GA he asked to circulate
this letter. It is a two page letter which accuses the Israelis to have
started the aggression and that they had to react and they accused the
Israelis for having launched this aggressing along the Egyptian-Syrian
border and continues the Israeli's policy of occupation of the Arab
territory and the increasing of the utilization of the Arab territories.
K: I guess we will see it eventually.
W: It is an accusation of Israel for not having accepted the UN resolution
etc. This is the situation and this letter will be circulated as a GA
document on request of El Zahed, and to speak on Monday morning
in the GA. He came to my office and told me that he had still no
request for any Security Council debate. Is that right? I can imagine
they don't want it.
K: We feel there should be a Security Council debate sometime later
this afternoon and we will oppose any GA debate of the subject.
W: It is a case for the Security Council.
K: We do not think the GA competent.
W: It has been declined to have a GA meeting. We don't have this problem
at least over the weekend. If El -Zahed asks for the floor, the President
has to give him the floor. When I asked him , he said he would ask for the
florr only when he sees how things develop. I think he wants to see how
the military operations develop.
