The General Assembly will meet tomorrow to take up the Asian-African complaint against Israel for alleged fallure to withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip “forthwith” as contained in the General Assembly resolution.
The Asian-African bloc will press for passage of its resolution which calls on Israel to withdraw completely behind the 1949 armistice line within five days on pain of military and economic sanctions. The penalties are taken from the American resolution of October 29 which France and the United Kingdom vetoed in the Security Council.
