Is Brutal Aggressor
In Clash With Egypt
JERUSALEM. (A)-Israel stood charged by the U.N. mixed Armistice Commission today as a "brutal" aggressor who deliberately attacked Egyptian forces in the Gaza strip a week ago. The armistice group said the bloody assault in which 38 Egyptians and 8 Israelis died, violated the 1949 Palestine truce agreement.
The commission's ruling yesterday heightened speculation at U.N. headquarters in New York that the Security Council would vote similar censure against Israel when it takes up the explosive issue again next week.
Maj. Gen. Edson L. M. Burns of Canada, U.N. Palestine truce chief, was expected to leave for New York in a few days to give the Security Council a personal report on the Gaza incident, which has strained relations in Palestine to the breaking point.
At yesterday's meeting on the Egyptian resolution declaring the Gaza attack Feb. 28 "was committed by Israeli regular army forces against an Egyptian regular army force."
The commission brushed aside an Israeli counter-complaint that an Egyptian unit had ambushed an Israeli patrol, starting a running fight that took' the Israelis into Egyptian territory.
