Talks aimed at improving the effectiveness of the United Nations Mixed Armistice Commissions machinery in the hope of ensuring effective handling of complaints on border incidents were opened here today with Lt. Gen. Odd Bull, U.N. Truce Supervision chief of staff, by Israeli Foreign Ministry officials.
Israeli officials have informed UNTSO officers that MAC decisions are “legalistic” in the diction meaning of the term and that, as such, the decisions are a factor encouraging elements undermining peace and security in Israel’s border relations, rather than consolidating peace efforts. The Israeli officials also deplored the U.N. refusal to face and admit the existence of openly acknowledged Arab terrorist groups across the border from Israel.
