We have been grieved not to receive so far from the Commission any information as to what action they have taken in this respect. We must emphasize that this question is regarded by our respective governments as extremely important and of utmost urgency to all concerned. Not only the principle is in jeopardy, but the fact that Israel continues to sell private property not belonging to it, may lead to the most serious detriment of the interest of Arab refugees. So far, we are not aware that Israel had desisted from such action nor have assurances from Israel been secured by the Commission towards this end.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-bottom:5px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">May we respectfully remind you, therefore, of this urgency and request that the Commission may give this problem its immediate attention.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-bottom:10px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">We would like to take this opportunity, Sir, to express to you the assurances of our highest consideration and esteem.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" background=\"#000000\" width=\"100%\" style=\"text-align:left;margin-left:initial;margin-right:auto;\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\" valign=\"top\" style=\"border-color:#000000;border-style:solid;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;\">\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">(<u>Signed<\/u>) Aly Kamel Fahmy<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">Charge d&#8217;Affaires<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">Permanent Delegation of Egypt<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-bottom:10px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">to the United Nations<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"50%\" valign=\"top\" style=\"border-color:#000000;border-style:solid;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;\">\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">(<u>Signed<\/u>) Awni Khalidy<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">Acting Permanent Representative<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-bottom:5px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">of Iraq to the United Nations<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\" valign=\"top\" style=\"border-color:#000000;border-style:solid;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;\">\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">(<u>Signed<\/u>) Edward A.
