The Israeli Government today asked the Security Council for clarification of some of the new truce provisions adopted last week by the Council. In a communication to the Council, Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok pointed out that the ban against retaliatory fighting might encourage truce violations and asked whether the Council is prepared to deal promptly with them.
In reference to the decision that no permanent political and military gains may be scored from such fighting, the Israeli communication asked whether the Council was prepared to force relinquishment of such gains and to protect the victim against a worsening of military position.
