Reference Assembly meeting view here is that you should support whatever Assembly resolution is likely to meet with general acceptance and will be directed towards cessation of hostilities and withdrawal of troops from Egyptian territory. Without interfering with your discretion it is felt that you might support line taken by America and Canada. If statement is called for you should strongly urge cessation of hostilities and return to peaceful negotiation.
