Israel Ambassador Abba Eban and Mrs. Eban will be honored here June 1 at a ball to be attended by Ambassadors of many nations, U.S. officials, members of Congress, and other leading personages. The ball is sponsored by a group of patrons in cooperation with the Israel Bond Organization.
Speaking today on the television program “Let’s Lock at Congress,” Ambassador Eban told interviewer Rep. Kenneth B. Keating of New York that even if the Arab states continue their twin policies of non-recognition and boycott, hostilities can be avoided “so long as they do not attack our territory or our shipping in the Gulf of Akaba.”
In response to questions from Rep. Keating, the Ambassador said that the relationship between Israel and the United States is “one of deep friendship in pursuit of common aims” and that “there was a certain one-sidedness” in the pressure exerted on Israel, Britain and France in the recent Egyptian situation.
