Israel’s Foreign Minister, Abba Eban, conferred this weekend with United Nations Secretary General U Thant and Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, Undersecretary for Special Political Affairs, who is considered the U. N.’s principal expert on the Middle East. He was accompanied by Michael S. Comay, Israel’s permanent representative here.
The conference with the U.N. secretariat leaders, Mr. Eban said, provided an opportunity for a general review of U.N. problems, Middle East issues, questions concerning the Far East and included “special reference to the armistice system in our region. ” There were no specific new problems involved, he said. However, it was understood that among the problems discussed were the arms race in the Middle East and the United Nations Emergency Force.
