Aba Eban, Israel’s Ambassador to Washington, will confer tomorrow with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. It is understood that Mr. Ebanis parley will concern recent changes in the Middle East. Mr. Dulles and Mr. Eban have not met in over a month.
Appearing today on a television program originating here, Ambassador Eban said he did not believe that a world war would develop out of the Israel-Arab dispute and that there were more dangerous situations in the world today. The greatest tasks facing the United Nations were the issues of control of outer space, control of atomic energy and disarmament.
The Ambassador said that tensions among the Arab states are such that they do not have time to concentrate on Israel. He said the Arabs are so absorbed with whether they will be dominated by President Nasser of the United Arab Republic they show no signs at present of cooperation for new aggression against Israel.
(At a press conference this week-end at the United Nations headquarters, U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold announced that Israel Prime Minister David Ben Gurion and President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic have agreed with him to a demarcation of the Syrian-Israel border through new markings. He denied he had said in the Middle East that he expects a full solution of the Arab refugee problem this year, stating he hopes that the work of U.N. relief for the refugees would continue.)
