UN General Assembly
1959

21. The Libyan delegation has been highly gratified to note that the General Assembly resolution adopted unanimously at its Third Emergency Special Session in August 1958 and relating to what was then called the "Middle East crisis" [resolution 1237 (ES-III)] is being carried out in a most re: during manner. The relations between the parties concerned have finally returned to normal and now naturally reflect the lasting friendliness and brotherly feelings which are the very corner-stone of the family of Arab States. The bitter allusions made a few days ago from this rostrum by the representatives of Zionist aggression will merely have the effect of closing our ranks and strengthening our determination to exercise our right of self-defence against expansionist forces and subversive intrigues.
