President Nasser of the United Arab Republic today delivered another warning to the United States, Britain and France against intervention under the 1950 Tripartite Declarations which guarantees the present Arab-Israel borders. Speaking in Damascus, he said any such intervention would be resisted by him with force.
His threatening statement was made following a report here that the U.S. Britain and France have been consulting on the Tripartite pact and have come to the conclusion that the pact is as valid today as it was ten years ago when it was announced. Allied consultations were prompted by a warning earlier this week from Nasser that the Tripartite Declaration was dead and “buried at Port Said,” the site of the Suez invasion of 1956.
