Lot 992
Eban, Abba (1915-2002) Draft of a speech, probably delivered at the United Nations, in which Israe's Representative blames the Arab States for preventing peaceful supervision of the Holy Places in Jerusalem. Three pages, 8" x 6", separate sheets with letterhead of The Savoy-Plaza, New York City, with cross-outs and additions in Eban's handwriting, but not signed. Eban begins: "The record of the Arab Government in the Jerusalem question is as follows - They violently opposed the Statute of Jerusalem when it was first proposed by the U.N. and made brutal destructive war upon the City in cynical disregard of its sacred associations." Eban then writes "This assault caused the abandonment and irrevocable," then crosses the phrase out, replacing it with "and with heavy loss of life and damage to buildings old and new, religious and secular." Plus much more. In excellent condition.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
