After UN 242 came Oslo!
Abu I think Klipkap has been lenient with you:-
For the UK
Lord Caradon, an [chief] author of U.N. Resolution 242, U.K. Ambassador to the United Nations (1964-1970):
Mr. George Brown, British Foreign Secretary in 1967, on 19 January 1970:
For the USA
Mr. Joseph Sisco, Assistant Secretary of State, 12 July 1970 (NBC "Meet the Press"):
Eugene V. Rostow, Professor of Law/Public Affairs, Yale University. 1967, was US Under-Secretary of State for Political Affairs:
For the USSR
Mr. Vasily Kuznetsov said in discussions that preceded the adoption of Resolution 242:
As though the rest of the world has no voice or don't you agree with democracy?
Whatever was said about UN resolution 242 is by and large immaterial as that which came after was the Oslo Accords which superseded UN resolution 242 as Shimon Peres said
“In short, we had to work toward establishing a new Middle East based on prosperity and hope instead of poverty and anguish.”
“This was not the time for memories. It was a time to form a new agenda. The accord in Oslo and the ceremony in Washington were but a stepping-stone from which to leap higher and farther than ever before.”
Peres, Shimon. The New Middle East, Henry Holt and Company, NewYork:1993.
The world moves on and people learn, Peres obviously did and so did Arafat. You have been left behind on a barren rocky shore, re-fighting a long dead war using outdated material.
Oslo Accords gave five Years for a hand over what happened to Israel complying with their side of the Accords?
