Israel today voted with the majority in the United Nations General Assembly Political Committee against two Soviet resolutions charging the United States with aggression against China by violation of Chinese air space and bombing of Chinese territory, and urging the Assembly to recommend to the Security Council that it take steps to halt American “aggression.”
Although Israel did not participate in the brief three-day debate on these charges, Israel delegation sources told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that, in the absence of conclusive evidence or proof, the charges should not be accepted simply at their face value. These sources noted that China had some months ago turned down a U.S. suggestion for a neutral committee to investigate the charges on the spot.
