FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES By ff\,ft.fl Date A<} -i a -33 Israel and the UAE, In consideration of their obligations under the Charter of the United Nations, Confirming their obligations under Security Council Resolution 2k2 of November 22, 1967 and expressing their readiness to implement it in good faith in all of its provisions, Recognizing the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by means of war, Recognizing also the need to establish a just and lasting peace in the Middle East under the terms of which each State in this area can live in security, Agree that their representatives will convene under the auspices of Ambassador Jarring to work out without delay, starting on the basis of the following provisions, a final and reciprocally binding accord on ways of implementing Security Council Resolution 242 of November 22, 1967, to establish a just and lasting peace. Point 1 The parties, in reaching a final accord on a package settlement on the basis of these Fundamental Principles, would determine a timetable and procedures for withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from UAR territory occupied during the conflict of 19&7 to boundaries to be delineated in accordance with Point k. On the day of deposit with the UN of the final accord reached, withdrawal of Israeli armed forces would begin. -2- Point 2 It would be agreed by the parties that work on the clearance of the Suez Canal and the resumption of navigation would "be coordinated with withdrawal of Israeli armed forces. The facilities of the UN could "be utilized to clear the Canal. Withdrawal of Israeli forces would be carried out under the observation of UK representatives, during an agreed time period not to exceed three months, or as otherwise agreed. Point 3 From the moment of deposit with the UN of the final accord, the state of war and belligerency which has existed for twenty-one years between Israel and the UAR would be terminated and a formal state of peace would exist between them, and they would refrain from, and would restrain all persons and entities on their territories from committing, instigating or encouraging acts inconsistent with the state of peace and the cessation of the state of war. Point k The parties would agree on the location of the secure and recognized boundary between them, which would be shown on a map or maps approved by the parties which would become part of the final accord. Israel would agree that the former international boundary between Egypt and the mandated territory of Palestine is not excluded as the secure and recognized boundary between Israel and the UAR. -3- Point 5 For the purpose of ensuring the territorial inviolability of the parties and guaranteeing the security of the recognized boundary, demilitarized zones would be established consisting of the territory from which Israel withdraws. Such zones should not give advantage to either party, and their administration would contain only limitations of a purely military nature. The parties would also work out the procedures for securing the demilitarized status of such zones, availing themselves as they may agree of the appropriate facilities of the UN. Point 6 The parties would further agree that the disposition of Gaza would be worked out between Israel, Jordan, and the UAR under Ambassador Jarring's auspices and be recorded in the final accord between Israel and the UAR and the final accord between Israel and Jordan. The parties would^aconsider the following: (a) the question of withdrawal of Israeli forces; (b) the demilitarization of Gaza and other practical security arrangements; (c) the possibility of an interim UN administration; and (d) the ultimate status of Gaza. Point 7 Both parties would declare that the Strait of Tiran is an international waterway and would affirm the principle of freedom of navigation through the Strait of Tiran and in the Gulf of Aqaba -k- for the ships of all nations. The parties would further agree upon security arrangements for the Sharm al-Shaykh area which would assure to their mutual satisfaction that such freedom of navigation is irrevocably guaranteed. Point 8 The UAR would affirm that, in its exercise of jurisdiction over the Suez Canal, the ships of all nations, including Israel, will have the right of freedom of navigation without discrimination or interference. Point 9 In order to bring about a just settlement of the refugee problem, both parties would accept the principle that the refugees from the war of 19^8, who are under the mandate of UNR¥A, would have the choice between repatriation to Israel and resettlement with compensation.
