“Israel is undesirable in the Middle East and there are no conditions under which a permanent peace can be made until Israel ceases to be undesirable,” Egyptian Foreign Minister Salah el-Din Bey told a nation-wide American radio audience last night.
Asked by United Nations correspondents on a radio interview program here whether the Arab states were considering the possibility of ending the economic boycott against Israel and establishing permanent peace, the Foreign Minister replied that the Arabs were “not considering anything of this sort.” He said, however, that the Arabs had a permanent truce with Israel and that Arabs never went back on their signature.
