SECRUS
-7- #291, April 13, 1 p.m.; from Jerusalem
up but that it was the death sentence of Tulkarm, which
has lived on rich land that Abdullah surrendered.
Palestine Arabs are bitter with Abdullah, Britain and
US. They contend that our inactivity amounted to
pressure upon Abdullah to sign.
It is obvious from Comay's statement of Israel's
cerritorial claims that she is in direct contraventlon
of US policy When I told Comay that he was certainly
aware that President and Secretary had only recently
reaffirmed to Sharret US views on territorial settle-
ment she replied, "yes, but we hope to change Washington's
mind".
GENERAL COMMENT: In spite of all Department has done
since January, Israel has stiffened rather than modified
her position. Armistice talks emphasized Arab weakness
because, as Bunche told me, Israel gave at no point and
Arabs gave at every point where concession was necessary.
Israel intends to exploit that weakness to the maximum.
Again it seems to me that Israeli position has brought
into question whole US policy as to Palestine. One
matter of concern is that unfair arrangements sponsored
by UN and approved by US would have serious repercussions
in Middle East and tend to discredit US, besides provid-
ing good basis for exploitation by unfriendly powers.
