I would like to cite pertinent excerpts from that declaration: "To ensure direct negotiations and to secure a contractual peace settlement. freely and sincerely signed by the parties themselves. the United States should oppose all pressures upon Israel to withdraw prematurely and unconditionally from any of the territories which Israel now administers. "Achieving peace. Israel and the Arab states will be in a position to settle the problems which confront them. Peace will outlaw belligerence. define final boundaries. end boycotts and blockades. curb terrorism. promote disarmament. facilitate refugee resettlement. ensure freedom of navigation through international waterways. and promote economic cooperation in the interests of all people. "The U.N. cease fire should be obeyed and respected by all nations. The Arab states have an obligation to curb terrorism and to end their attacks on Israel civilians and settlements." I hope and pray that every diplomatic. humanitarian and moral means will be utilized to prevail upon the Arab world to end its barbarious course so alien to the highest concepts of humanity and justice.
