Roger Garreau, president of the U.N. Trusteeship Council, addressed an invitation to the Israel Government to send representatives to Athens where he intends to start discussions on implementation of the terms of the Jerusalem statute as adopted by the Trusteeship Council in Geneva earlier this month, it was reported here today.
The report says that the Israel Government doubts the usefulness of such a meeting. It allegedly pointed out that it is unable to attend any meeting to discuss the implementation of any unworkable statute. However, it will send a courtesy mission to Athens in order not to snub M. Garreau, the report states.
(In New York, Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz predicted that the United Nations General Assembly will recall its resolution to internationalize Jerusalem. His prediction parallels off-the-record statements by many U.N. delegates who expect that the Trusteeship Council will decide in June that Israel’s and Transjordan’s opposition to the internationalization of Jerusalem necessitates placing the whole issue before the Assembly in September.)
