UN General Assembly
1967

90. With regard to the Arab countries, we rejoice to see that they are acting in a constructive spirit which leaves the door open to an improvement in the situation. The Arab countries have shown proof of their desire to promote a political settlement of the problems created by the armed conflict of last June. They are being reproached for wanting simply to return to the conditions which prevailed before 5 June 1967. But that is not the basic question. The fact is that the Arab countries have given proof of goodwill, realism and flexibility, and if that spirit could be reciprocated it would undoubtedly serve to bring an end to the political deadlock which has until now barred the opportunities for a peaceful settlement.
