100. On 1 May, Ambassador Tekoah was empowered to indicate on Israel’s behalf, in the Security Council, Israel’s acceptance of the 22 November resolution for the promotion of agreement on the establishment of a just and lasting peace. The Israeli representative was authorized to reaffirm that we were willing to seek agreement with each Arab State on ail the matters included in the resolution, and that we accepted the suggestion of Dr. Jarring to bring about meetings between Israel and its neighbours under his auspices in fulfilment of his mandate for the purpose of achieving a peaceful and accepted settlement. 101. On 29 May, after a discussion in our Cabinet, I made a statement in the Knesset proposing a method of implementing the Security Council resolution through negotiation, agreement and the signature and application of treaty engagements to be worked out between the parties. In this, as in previous documents, it was made clear that we regarded the establishment of the boundary as a matter for negotiation and agreement.
