PASSAGE THROUGH CANAL
Israel To “ Defend
Right”
(Rec. 8.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, May 5. The former Israeli Prime Minister, Mr Moshe Sharett, said in Sydney yesterday that Israel would defend to the death its right of passage through the Suez Canal.
Mr Sharett, who arrived in Sydney by air, said fighting between Israel and Egypt could flare up again at any time. He said: “I hope Egypt has learned the lesson we gave her in the recent fighting. Whether peace continues depends entirely on Egypt.”
Mr Sharett, who is in Australia to appeal to Jews for funds to help settle immigrants who are “flooding into Israel,” said he hoped to confer with the Australian Prime Minister (Mr Menzies) and the External Affairs Minister (Mr Richard Casey).
He said he wanted to tell them how grateful Israelis were for the stand they had taken on the Suez crisis in speeches in Canberra and in the United Nations.
