Israel Minister of Tourism, Moshe Kol, accused the Security Council of destroying the chances of peace negotiations, Kol, speaking at an Israel Bonds dinner here, said that extremist Arabs are beginning to believe they can achieve their aims by majority vote of the United Nations instead of by use of peace negotiations. “It is for that reason,” said Kol, “that Israel will not participate in the Security Council meetings. The forum for peace negotiations for Israel is the Geneva conference,” he said.
Kol held the Security Council membership accountable saying, “They will bear full responsibility for damaging the chances of peace negotiations.” Israel, said Kol, has little to hope for from the United Nations where a constant majority of the Communists, the Third World bloc and the Arabs can decide whatever they wish.
