The decision of the United Nations in establishing the state of Israel was illegal, Dr. Fadil el Jamali of Iraq declared today in the course of an address he made during the General Assembly general debate.
The Arab spokesman told the U.N. meeting that “there is no doubt that this organization has always shown weakness before Jewish aggression.” He insisted that it was the duty of those powers which were responsible for the creation of Israel to see that the Jewish state abided by U. N. resolutions. Dr. Jamali further declared that the U. N. ‘s decision on Israel’s creation was unbelievable, coming as it did from an organization designed to protect human rights.
