dated January 09, 1953: Sell No Arms to Arabs, says Israel

The Israeli Foreign Minister said in Tel Aviv that his Government had sent a note to London asking Britain to reconsider her decision to sell arms to Arab States. Copies of the note were also sent to France and to the United States. Unless the Arabs demonstrated readiness to negotiate peace with Israel, no arms should be sold to them, the note urged. In December 1952, the Israeli Foreign Ministry had warned that delivery of jet planes to Arabs would start off an arms race in the Middle East. Assurances given by Arab States in 1940 that they would use Western arms only for defence could not be counted upon, as they had persisted in claiming they were at war with Israel, and continued to perpetrate hostile action against it.
