 After suggesting the expul- sion of Israel, he said:
 We respectfully urge the se- curity cotmcn to decide econ onnic sanctions provided for in the charter. This becomes more imperative since Israel is rece- iving loans, financial assistance and grants in aid from national and international sources"
 The U. N. charter gives the council authority to impose ec- onomic penalties against na- tions which threaten or break the peace.
 Shukairy said the time had come for fhe council to take effective action"
 He noted that Egyptian pre- mier Gannal Abdel Nasser stat ed in a letter to the U. N. last night that the council had not prevented the recurrence of Is- raeli attacks on Arab states.
 The Egyp ian government has declared herself bound to deal with the situation herself including the use of ther armed forces to maintain peace and safety in the area he said. The issue, therefore, is crystal clear. It is war or no war"
