Speaker Eban, Abba Solomon (1915-2002)
Date Created February 18, 1964
Description Eban discusses Israel's relationship with its neighbors in the Middle East. He begins by noting "the paradox of useable force," that as nations arm themselves and hostilities grow, peace is more likely since no country wants the negative aspects of a war. He then describes Israel's position in the Middle East, noting how much smaller it is that the rest of the area. He believes Israel will thrive despite the actions of its neighbors. He also states Israel's primary concern is security, not specifically peace. He does not believe its neighbors will ever recognize Israel, and, thus, he appreciates America's, and other Western countries', support for the nation. Eban moves onto various facts about Israel: it's size, form of government, and water use of the country.
