These commitments were made individually by four Presidents - Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson. They are commit- ments to protect any Near Eastern country against aggression. The basic principle in the commitment is that which was made in 1950 in the Tri- Partite Agreement involving France, the United Kingdom and the United States. The fundamental commitment is a desire to prevent and to counter aggression against any country in the Near East. The United States, although it has not said so publicly as yet, shall keep that commitment. This clearly has grave implications. Therefore the United States gives to the Secretary-General their complete support in the Secretary-General's forthcoming mission to Cairo. The Ambassador stressed that what he was saying had not been said publicly. Ambassador Goldberg then referred to a letter from him to the Secretary-General which he was handing to the Secretary-General. In this letter, it was emphasized that the United States has no designs on Syria or the UAR or any other country in the Near East, and the Secretary-General was informed that he could say this to Nasser in Cairo. In response to a question by RJB, Ambassador Goldberg stated that the United States commitment would extend to all countries in the Near East and therefore would be applicable in the event of an Israeli attack upon or invasion of Syria. The United States, he said, is against aggression in the area against any country in any form. Mr. Goldberg said that the United States seeks a solution to the -2- problems in the Near East through the United Nations. Justice Goldberg said, as he had previously expressed to the Secretary-General, that what has happened in the Near East recently was of very great concern to Washington and there was deep anxiety about the decision to withdraw UNEF. It may be recalled that the United States broke with its Allies at the time of the Suez crisis (Israel, France and the United Kingdom). Therefore, the United States has had a different view from that of the Secretary-General with regard to the withdrawal of UNEF. The United States position is that Nasser has a continuing obligation to protect the peace in the area and should not menace it by unilateral action. -3- Ambassador Goldberg said that the letter which he was handing to the Secretary-General is a reminder to President Nasser of the past record of the United States in this matter. Indeed, it could be said that Nasser would not be where he is now if it were not for the U.S. The letter, said Mr. Goldberg, is only for U Thant and Mr. Nasser to the extent to which U Thant may see fit to use it. It will not be made public. Mr. Goldberg said that the U.S. Government is under tremendous pressure on this question. He said the U.S. has differred with the Secretary-General on the matter, but respects his judgement and his motives. That, he said, is now past and we must look to the future. The main objective is to preserve an effective U.N. presence in the area. Some way must be found to meet the positions of both parties. We have said to the Israelis that we will keep our commitment and we wish them to cooperate. U Thant mentioned the mischievous Jordanian broadcast of yesterday. Ambassador Goldberg said that the U.S. had sent its Ambassador •to Jordan to protest about this and he was assured that such broadcasts will cease. Ambassador Goldberg thought there would be a great possibility for a U.N. presence of a new kind to be established at Sharm-el-Sheikh and Gaza, especially since the Strait of Tiran is regarded by many countries as an international waterway. He referred to the possibility of a new international instrumentality. Mr. Goldberg said that Ambassador El Kony had indicated to him that all that had to be done -4- now would be to observe the Armistice Agreement and to employ EIMA.C along the Line. But this was a one-sided approach as Israel did not agree with it. U Thant said that Ambassador Rafael had given a negative reaction this morning to paragraph 16 of the Secretary-General1s report to the Security Council. Ambassador Goldberg said that it is very important to get the forces of the two sides quickly disengaged by a, mutual withdrawal from the Line and, particularly, to get the FLA away from where it can make trouble.

  • Egypt's Union with Syria, Its Impact and the June 1967
    Egypt’s Union with Syria, its Impact and the June 1967 War S. Qalb-i-Abid / Massarrat Abid Introduction Four hundred and sixty five million people of the Middle East are almost of the same composition. They share a common language, culture and religion and believe in the concept of the Arab Nationalism - Umma al Arabiya. The Arabic language is a potent unifying bondage. Although spoken Arabic changes widely from area to area, the literary language is more or less the same throughout the Arab world; and all those who speak Arabic are regarded as a part of the Arab Nation. This sacred language of Islam and Quran is the common bondage among the Arabs. The Arab Middle East also comprises the Holy Places for the three major religions of the world - Islam, Christianity and Judaism and remains the place of origin of their faith. Religion has thus always played a major role in political, economic, and social aspects of life for very many years; and in all likelihood, it will also continue to be a significant factor in future politics of this region. Middle East therefore is rightly described as the cradle of Islam. The importance of Middle East in world affairs has been emphasized by the fact that two world wars have had their Middle Eastern commands; and events there, though not principal, weighed heavily on the final results of these gigantic international conflicts. Egypt’s Union with Syria 165 The Middle Eastern politics has therefore always been very important for the World. Politics, transportation, communications, markets, military strategy, imperialism, nationalism, culture, religion and natural resources of this area had always great attraction1 for the “Big Powers” as well as small countries.

  • MUNUC XXIX Cabinet of Egypt Background Guide
    THE CABINET OF EGYPT, 1954 MUNUC XXIX Cabinet Briefing LETTER FROM THE CHAIR Greetings Delegates! Welcome to the first cabinet meeting of our new government. In addition to preparing to usher in a new age of prosperity in Egypt, I am a fourth year at the University of Chicago, alternatively known as Hannah Brodheim. Originally from New York City, I am studying economics and computer science. I am also a USG for our college conference, ChoMUN. I have previously competed with the UChicago competitive Model UN team. I also help run Splash! Chicago, a group which organizes events where UChicago students teach their absurd passions to interested high school students. Egypt has not had an easy run of it lately. Outdated governance systems, and the lack of investment in the country under the British has left Egypt economically and politically in the dust. Finally, a new age is dawning, one where more youthful and more optimistic leadership has taken power. Your goals are not short term, and you do not intend to let Egypt evolve slowly. Each of you has your personal agenda and grudges; what solution is reached by the committee to each challenge ahead will determine the trajectory of Egypt for years to come. We will begin in 1954, before the cabinet has done anything but be formed. The following background guide is to help direct your research; do not limit yourself to the information contained within. Success in committee will require an understanding of the challenges Nasser’s Cabinet faces, and how the committee and your own resources may be harnessed to overcome them.

We shall show the world how a small country can stand in the face of great powers threatening with armed might.”1 The traditional narrative of the Suez Crisis begins on July 26, 1956, with Gamal Abdel Nasser’s announcement of the nationalization of the Universal Suez Canal Company; hits a crescendo with first Israeli, and then Anglo-French invasion of Egypt in late October 1956; and ends with an humiliating cease-fire and replacement with a United Nations Emergency Force in December 1956. The Suez Crisis now sits as something of a mythic monument to the folly of imperialist adventurism in the face of postwar decolonization and the United Nations Charter era. The orthodox memory of the Suez Crisis and its ideational legacy have been mythologized into a cautionary tale of using

In recent speeches, President Obama has suggested that Israel should return to pre-1967 borders with “land-swaps” in exchange for some form of peace with the Palestinians living within current Israeli territory. The validity of Obama’s suggestion has been questioned by both members of the political left and right and in the opinion of this author, with considerable merit.

Title: Egypt and the Soviet Union, 1953-1970 APPROVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE~IS COMMITTEE -------- --------- The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze in detail the many aspects of the Soviet-Egyptian friendship as it developed from 1953 to 1970. The relationship between the two is extremely important because it provides insight into the roles of both Egypt aand the Soviet Union in both the history of the Middle East and in world politics. The period from 1953 to 1970 is key in understanding the relationship between the two states because it is the period of the genesis of the relationship and a period in which both nations went through marked changes in both internal policy and their external relations.

First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, John Voll for providing a wealth of knowledge throughout the process. He frequently suggested new avenues to explore, as well as new sources that proved incredibly helpful in deepening my understanding of the complexities of US-Mid East relations. I would be remiss if I did not also thank Professor Yvonne Haddad for her guidance and mentorship over the years. It has been very meaningful as I have continued to grow as a writer and aspiring scholar. Much of my interest in US-Middle Eastern relations stemmed from research that I first began with her.
