Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan served notice on the states neighboring Israel today that Israel considered the cease-fire agreements valid and binding not only on the cease-fire border lines but for all the territory of each signatory state. He asked Lt. Gen. Odd Bull, chief of the United Nations cease-fire observers staff, to make this position clear to the Arab states and to advise Secretary-General U Thant.
Gen. Dayan’s warning was understood to refer primarily to Jordan on whose territory most of the terrorist gangs harassing Israel are receiving their training. It was meant specifically so far as Egypt and Syria were concerned, to cover the deployment of members of their armed forces in the gangs operating in Israel and Israel-held territories, in the organization of terror and sabotage gangs and in other anti-Israel activities.
