For us to assist in the construction of physical barriers to infiltration along the Jordan River. even if they were expensive. would thus make a substantial contribution to peace in the area. Fifth. We should also stand ready to assist in the difficult problem of relocation and resettlement of the Arab refugees. Here again. over the years. the Arabs have been intransigent in their opposition to resettlement programs. preferring to retain the refugee camps as centers of political unrest. If ArabIsrael negotiations were to take place. they might well lead to a final resolution of the refugee problem as well as of the frontier questions. Obviously. Israel is now in a stronger position on that score than before.
