The United Nations General Assembly today postponed its scheduled discussion on the resolution recommending imposition of sanctions on Israel, introduced last week by six members of the Afro-Asian bloc. ## was set for resumption of the discussion.
Israel Ambassador Abba Eban met twice today with United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold in connection with the proposed resolution and the new instruction for the Gaza-Akaba issue which he received from the Israel Government during his brief visit there. He refused to make any comment on his talks with Mr. Hammarskjold.
It was generally felt here that since Mr. Eban’s return from Jerusalem yesterda genuine negotiations for settlement of the impasse have been under way. Two paralled sets of negotiations are said to be in the process–one between Israel and the United States and the other between Israel and the United Nations.
Involved in both sets of negotiations, reports held, are separate plans for a solution of the Akaba and Gaza problems. The Akaba settlement is said to center around the place to use a UN navy to patrol the Gulf of Akaba, as proposed by Lester B. Pearson, Ca## Minister for External Affairs. The Gaza plan envisages the establishment of a trust ship-type of jurisdiction over the Gaza Strip by the United Nations.
Author of the Gaza plan is said to be Henry R. Labouisse, director of the UN Rel and Works Agency for Arab refugees from Palestine. Mr. Labouise has reportedly worked out a legal formula under which the relief agency would administer the entire Gaza Strip since about two-thirds of the territory’s population is composed of Arab refugees.
