Abba Eban At United Nations Podium

Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Abba Eban addresses the UN General Assembly Special Session in New York City, New York after a cease fire between Israel and Syria brought an end to the Six-Day War. He presented arguments supporting Israel’s assertion that their military strike on Egypt was a preemptive response to escalating Arab State propaganda and military deployments poised for an attack on Israel. International recognition of a re-unified Jerusalem within revised post-war Israeli borders was one key objective. (Photo by Bob Parent/Getty Images)
