Editorial Note
The Truce Supervision Headquarters, at Haifa, addressed identical notes on behalf of the Acting Mediator to the Government of Egypt and to the provisional Government of Israel, which called for withdrawal of the armed forces of both sides from positions in the Negeb they had occupied at the outbreak of hostilities on October 14; for text, see SC, 3rd yr., Supplement for October 1948, page 70. This source dates the notes October 26; yet Mr. Bunche in referring to them before the Security Council, dates them October 25 (SC, 3rd yr., No. 121, page 23, and No. 122, page 3).
