The Israel-Egyptian Mixed Armistice Commission, which has not met for several months, since Egypt broke off talks with Israel after the fighting between forces of the two countries in the Nitzana El Auja) demilitarized zone area, has been convened for two meetings by Maj. Gen. E. L. M. Burns, chief of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization here.
Gen. Burns himself will be chairman of the two sessions. The first of the meetings will be held on February 20, and will be an “emergency” session scheduled to consider about 20 complaints from both Israel and Egypt. The second meeting will be held two days later. Both meetings will be held at the hut at Kilometer 95, in the Gaza Strip demilitarized area, where earlier abortive Egypt-Israel talks had been held until those conversations were broken off by Egypt.
