The Israeli Cabinet met “inconclusively” tonight on the U.N. Security Council’s cease-fire and withdrawal order in the Negev. It was understood here that before issuing the necessary order to Israeli troops in the field, the government will demand that the Security Council guarantee that the Egyptian cease-fire order will be issued simultaneously with that of Israel’s. It is also understood hare that the government will ask for the setting up of mediation machinery and will request clarification from the Security Council on several points embodied in its order, including a simultaneous cease-fire and the implementation of armistice negotiations.
