The Inter-Parliamentary Union ended its current meeting here and approved by a vote of 73-3 a Venezuelan resolution on the Middle East calling for an end to fighting in that area. The document asks all parties to collaborate with United Nations mediator Dr. Gunnar V. Jarring in his effort to reach an agreement based on Resolution 242. Israel was forced to vote against the proposal because its preamble included a short paragraph saying the Union was “also mindful of United Nations resolutions concerning Jerusalem.” The chief Israeli delegate, Haim Zadok, said his country was “determined that the city of Jerusalem should never be divided.”
