DUAL DISTRIBUTION
LETTER DATED 22 NOVEMBER 1948 FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE OF EGYPT
TO THE UNITED NATIONS ADDRESSED TO THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
CONCERNING ALLEGED VIOLATION OF TRUCE BY JEWISH FORCES
22 November 1948
I have the honour to inform you that the Zionist forces, using aeroplanes, heavy artillery and mortars have launched another attack against the Egyptian positions at Faluga on 20 November 1948.
While requesting that this further violation of the truce be brought to the attention of the Security Council and the Acting United Nations Mediator for Palestine, the Egyptian Government find that such repeated acts of aggression at this stage affect the implementation of the decision of the Security Council of 4 November 1948.
(Signed) M. FAWZI
Representative of Egypt
to the Security Council
