Eban of Israel, the Finnish statesman urged that the states of the Middle East resolve their differences without recourse to force or threats of force. He said that Finland and Its partners in the Scandinavian bloc followed developments in the Middle East “with anxiety” and sought to help find a solution satisfactory to all.
