The bitterness displayed in their talks has seldom been equaled in Israeli-Arab discussions here. | Shukairy, leading off, denied that | Syria provoked the raid on one of its outposts near the Sea of Galilee. He called for UN expul sion of Israel, and demanded that UN members put economic penal ties upon Israel for at least a year, in an effort to stop what he de scribed as Israeli aggression.

Recalling that Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. had told the Council the United States does not advocate the cause of one side or the other, Shukairy said: “Upon this basis we are entitled to request the United States not to extend economic aid to Israel. Israel has been condemned by the United States. Lodge is support ing a Western resolution censur ing Israel for the raid.
