The aceptance by the Arab states of the invitation by the U.N. Palestine Conciliation Commission to moot in Geneva for a further ####hange of views” with the Commission and Israeli representatives vas the result of Arab strategy and U.N. pressure, the Overseas News Agency reported from Beirut today.Had the Arab states refused the invitation, which the Government of Israel #####already indicated its willingness to accept, the U.N. body would have immediately ####rted to the current session of the U.N. General Assembly that its efforts to bring about a final settlement had reached an impasse, the O.N.A. correspondent said. ###ginally, the Arab Governments, certain that the General Assembly would place blame for an impasse on the Jews, had considered having the whole Palestine issue thrown ###k to the Assembly, and most of them had tentatively turned down the Commission’s ###posal. When the Commission, irritated by the Arabs’ stand, bluntly warned their ###resentatives that a substantial portion of the blame would fall on them, they ###eed to reconsider.
