Major General E. L. M. Burns, chief of staff of the United Nations truce supervision organization in Palestine, will arrive here this week-end to report in person to the Security Council on the Gaza incident for which the Israel-Egypt Mixed Armistice Commission has officially blamed Israel.
Definite word of Gen. Burns’ plans was received here today. The Security Council had left the way open for Gen. Burns to remain in Jerusalem if be found it necessary. Gen. Burns is chairman of the special committee to which Israel has appealed from the MAC decision condemning it as the aggressor in the Gaza affair and the commission’s failure to act on Israel’s complaint against Egypt.
