The Jordan Government today rejected the United Nations invitation to attend a conference with Israel in Jerusalem under the chairmanship of Dag Hammarskjold, UN Secretary General.
Jordan Foreign Minister Dr. Hussein Fakhri El Khalidi said he would send a note to Mr. Hammarskjold within the next 24 hours announcing that “Jordan will not attend. ” Mr. Hammarskjold said several days ago in Stockholm he would “fix a date for the conference whether or not Jordan accepts my invitation.”
