  • Summary: 1. MV Flags Tilt up to LV U.N. Building 0.10 2. CU Eban speaking 1.38 TRANSCRIPT: SEQ. 2: MR. EBAN: "The boundaries must be determined by agreement with our neighbours and not by commitments by them in advance, or by us in advance. If you want to, if they ask what will we give in return for a ceasefire; in return for a ceasefire we will give for peace, then we will certainly be ready for a most substantial compromise, provided of course that our basic security is not affected. I don't believe in a ceasefire, either party owes anything to the other, except really to cease firs at the point that is agreed; and coupled with other matters which aren't inseparable form a cessation of hostilities For example, a release of our prisoners is an absolute condition that we must put for a ceasefire agreement, and of course we would be willing to release a greater number of prisoners on the other side." "But these are matters to be worked on; these are the norms of ceasefire agreements. But in a ceasefire agreement, neither party should be asked to give up its basic position on the overall settlement. That is the matter on which they must commit themselves to the fortune of negotiations in the peacemaking stages."
