Today I shall talk about the arms race in this area which has become much more dangerous in recent years and which may. in itself. precipitate the conflict we hope to avoid. On the next three Tuesdays. I will offer comments on the problem of the Arab refugees. on the issues presented by conflicts over water. and. in conclusion and summary. on the need for stimulating development and peace in this region. It is a source of great concern to all of us that. after 17 years. there is still no peace in the Middle East. that Arab belligerence continues. and. that we have been unable to bring Arabs and Israelis to the peace table. The major reason has been that we have never been willing to commit our influence and prestige completely to challenge the warlike declarations of the Arab leaders and the plans which they continue to make to put these declarations into effect.
