The State of Israel is not ready to entertain any peace proposals that do not assure two basic conditions, the full sovereignty of the state and no territorial changes, Israel Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett declared this week-end in the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Knesset.
The Foreign Minister denied reports published in a London paper that peace proposals allegedly worked out by Dr. Ralph Bunche, Nobel Prize winner, and Gen. Mohammed Naguib, Egyptian Premier, had been submitted to the Israel Government. According to the published report, these proposals called on Israel to pay 120,000,000 pounds in reparations for confiscated Arab property and to cede a narrow strip in the southern desert for a corridor linking Egyptian and Jordanian territory.
Mr. Sharett will leave for the United States within a few days, it was learned here today. It is believed that he will meet with President Eisenhower, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and other high government officials. Among the matters to be discussed by Mr. Sharett with U.S. officials will be American assistance to the Jewish State.
