BEN-GURION, DAVID

(First Prime Minister of the State of Israel, 1886-1973). Typed Letter Signed, in Hebrew on official stationery.

pp.1. To Abba Eban (while Israel Ambassador to the United States). A most insightful letter: “With all our military preparations we will seek an all out efffort for peace. However peace cannot be bought at the price of concessions that wiil damage the capacity of life of the State… and will drag along destructive plots against the Nation. There is no basis to be afraid that America will ask us to concede Eilat or the continuity of access to it. Israel cannot make one sided concessions as well as resettle Arab refugees.”

Jerusalem: June 22nd 1956

Est: $3,000 - $4,000
