601. Editorial Note
On November 21, the Government of Israel submitted to Secretary-General Hammarskjöld an aide-mémoire in which it affirmed that there had been withdrawal of Israeli forces for varying distances along the entire Egyptian front. The Israeli Government also reaffirmed the position conveyed to Hammarskjöld on November 8 that it would withdraw its forces from Egypt immediately upon the conclusion of satisfactory arrangements with the United Nations. The text of the aide-mémoire, which was sent to Hammarskjöld under cover of a letter by Eban, was circulated as Annex II to the Secretary-General’s report of November 21 on compliance with General Assembly Resolutions 997 (ES–I) and 1002 (ES–I).
