Foreign Minister Abdul Halim Khaddam of Syria contended today in the General Assembly that Israel should be a “candidate for expulsion” from the United Nations for her “racial” policies, her “imperialist occupation” of Arab territories and her “Nazi-fashion Zionist aggression in the Middle East.” Late yesterday afternoon, Foreign Minister Abdullah Salah of Jordan asserted to the Assembly delegates that “There will be no peace in the Middle East so long as the holy city of Jerusalem remains under the domination of Israel.”

Foreign Minister Pierre Harmel of Belgium advised the Assembly yesterday that a Mideast peace had to be built on what he termed three inseparable pillars: “The conclusion of a peace treaty, guarantees offered by the community of nations and the establishment of stable and recognized frontiers.” In suggesting Israel’s expulsion from the UN, Khaddam cited Article 6 of the UN Charter: “A member of the United Nations which has persistently violated the principles contained in the present Charter may be expelled from the Organization by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council.” ” Syria has refused to accept Security Council Resolution 242 and has refused to negotiate with Israel.

Salah, in stating that Israel must relinquish her “domination” of Jerusalem, claimed that the “tragedy” of that “immortal” city was that the Israeli government was trying to turn the Eastern sector “into a virtual ghetto” with a view toward eventually destroying its Arab character. The Jordan man complained of Israel’s playing “a game of semantics and procrastination” in not agreeing to total withdrawal.
