UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Sept. 30—Israel and Syria presented sharply conflicting views to the United Nations today.
Syria declared that she would not consider any negotiation aimed at less than “unconditional withdrawal” of Israeli forces from all Arab territories occupied in 1973, whereas Israel said she was ready to enter peace negotiations with Syria without any prior conditions “at any place and at any time.”
Foreign Minister Yigal Allon, who made the offer in an address to the General Assembly, said that Syrian leaders had repeatedly rejected the concept of a “genuine peace treaty with Israel,” but he expressed the hope that “this is not their last word.”
Mr. Allon spoke in the Assembly alter the Syrian Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister, Abdul Halim Khaddam, had declared in a bitter address that any talk about negotiations between his country and Israel concerning occupied Syrian territory “is not founded on a practical or realistic basis.”
Earlier today, the Syrian official met will Secretary of State Kissinger for two hours at breakfast at the WaldorfAstoria. United States officials explained that Mr. Kissinger had invited Mr. Khaddam to review the Middle Eastern situation with him.
After the meeting, the Syrian was asked about the prospects of renewing the mandate of the United Nations peace force in the Golan area, which expires in November. Mr. Khaddam said the question was “premature.”
In his Assembly speech, the Syrian charged at one point that Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians by far !exceeded the crimes “perpetrated by Nazism in exterminating its adverseries.”
Mr: Khaddam denounced the recent Egyptian‐Israeli accord on military disengagement in Sinai as an attempt to undermine Arab solidarity, and deplored what he said was a deepening involvement of the United States in the Middle East conflict, reminiscent of what had happened in Vietnam.
The Syrian’s address was, applauded by many Arab and other representatives, but members of the Egyptian delegation sat immobile and did not join delegates lined up to congratulate Mr. Khaddam.
