The possibility or direct Tripartite military intervention in the Arab-Israel conflict diminished today as government sources reported the three powers decided on first attempting to use the machinery of the United Nations.
In the event of hostilities, the first move would be an appeal to the United Nations to order cease-fire and withdrawal of invading forces under penalty of sanctions. If the United Nations did not take such action, the United States, England, and France might then take steps.
Tripartite measures discussed included an arms embargo, economic embargo naval blockade, and severance of money and even charitable contributions originating in tribunal nations.
