Minutes before the Security Council debate on Palestinian rights opened here this evening, Ambassador Andrew Young of the United States approached Israeli Ambassador Yehuda Blum and shook his hand. Young, who had not seen Blum since their meeting two weeks ago in which the American Ambassador related his unauthorized meeting with a PLO official, told the Israeli envoy that he does not have “hand feelings” toward Blum in the aftermath of the incident that brought about his resignation. He told Blum he believed the Israeli envoy acted as he had to when he made their meeting public. Both Ambassadors expressed the hope that their personal friendship will continue.
