  • Title: U.N.: EGYPTIAN FOREIGN MINISTER DR. ZAYYAT ACCUSES ISRAEL OF CEASEFIRE VIOLATIONS AT SECURITY COUNCIL.
  • Date: 27th October 1973
  • Summary: 1. GV INT Delegates seated 0.10 2. SV & CU Zayyat speaking 1.47 MOHAMED EL-ZAYYAT: "In this council, I put a question to the delegate of Israel in order to dismiss his allegations of lies and what lies, of all this language which I am not going to use either new or ever. I put the question: Do the Israelis intend to comply with your resolution and with your wishes affirmed in resolution 340 demanding, and I quote "that immediate and complete ceasefire be observed, and that the parties return to the positions occupied by them at 1650 hours GMT on 22nd October, 1973". It's a (INDISTINCT) to tell you as I do now that right new the town of Suez is being bombarded from the air and from the land. That our positions west of the Canal are being also bombarded -- that we are expecting a very heavy onslaught on Suer anytime, and especially before the United Nations emergency forces are permitted to arrive at these areas. To me, and this is my excuse for asking the Council to meet -- this is a question of whether we are going new towards peace and hope, or towards early despair and (INDISTINCT) actions emanating from despair.
