Our\nthinking is that we probably won't be able to avoid xxkted calling for\nthe Security Council meeting tomorrow sometime.\nC:\nNo. That is OK.\nSUEZ\nK:\nBut we really feel very strongly that a simple ceasefire is (a) short\nsighted in the present circumstances and I will tell you why. Our\njudgement is that within 72 hours the Israelis will be pushing deep\ninto Syria. They may not go into - beyond the Fewish canal but they\nwill wipe out what is there. And we may then find such a resolution\nextremely handy on getting them back. Oh, well\nC:\nOh, well I think\nK:\nIn addition to the general principles which I stated earlier. Now we\nare quite determined that if the Israelis go beyond the present ceasefire\nlines that we will push them back.\nC:\nYes, that is the point I was trying to make. If they do do that then\nI think we are going to have a new situation.\nK:\nYes, but if we don't position ourselves now. Let me tell you Eban(?\nis not eager to have a Security Council meeting.\nC:\nI am sure he is not.\nK:\nAnd he is well if there is one, he wants that return to the status\nquo ante because he - I have a friend that says shrewdness (?) is the\nnational form of stupidity of the Italians. And I think Lebanon(?) is\nthe national form of xxxxxxx stupidity of the Israelis. He probably figures\nthat no one will buy it and then they can do what they want.\nDECLASSIFIED\nE.O. 13526, Section 3.5\nNLN09-08/12430 Per Hr.11/15/2013\nByRS/WIII NARA, Date 11/7/2016"
