PRIORITY
During informal discussion with representative USDEL, Acting
Mediator informed us he had just had long talk with Eban PGI
in which latter had spoken in very conciliatory manner re
Bernadotte Plan.
According Bunche, Eban had indicated Israel would be quite
content if UN action this session should consist of UN
affirmation such matters as existence Jewish state, termi-
mation hostilities and right individual Arab refugees to
return to their homes and if UN would throw into hopper of
proposed conciliation commission for negotiation such mata
ters as frontiers, Haifa, Lydda and access to Jerusalem,
Israelis would not in addition, resist internationalization
Jerusalem nor would they open up discussion in Paris of
Bernadotte Plan by requesting amendments.
Bunche attributed conciliatery approach toward increasing
realization by Israelis of merit of Bunche argument that
if Israelis adopted uncompromising attitude on Bernadotte
Plan it appeared most unlikely 2/3 vote would be obtainable
at UN for Bernadotte Plan or any other scheme. Present
armed truce and possibly renewal hostilities would continue
Palestine. Such situation would be harmful both Arabs and
Jews but particularly to Israel which needed UN settlement
in order it might turn its attention to peaceful pursuits
and development friendly relations with Arab states.
