The Knesset acted after Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, speaking In his capacity as Defense Minister, said that the General Staff was study¬ ing the question.

Pact Does Not Help Security Of Israel
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Mrs, Golda Meir, Israel's Foreign Minister, warned In Parliament this week that, while the three-power nuclear test ban might lead to additional Great Power steps to safeguard the peace of the world and of the Mid¬ dle East, it had not ih Itself eased any of the threats to Israel's security.
She made the statement during debate on proposals sub¬ mitted by the Communist and Ma-
pam parties of a Knesset debate on a Soviet proposal for an atom- tree zone in the Mediterranean area and tor a ban on all arms shipments to the Middle East. Both motions were overwhelmingly rejected.
SHE DECLARED that, when the Govemment rejected earlier pro¬ posals in the Knesset tor support ot a Soviet proposal for an atom- free Mediterranean zone, this was done in order not to divert attention from the real threat to Israel's security. In that regard, she assert¬ ed, the nuclear test ban changed nothing and, she added, the pro¬ posal to support such a nuclear- free zone would be meaningless, creating illusions Which ultimately would be dangerous to Israel.

Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Is Formally Signed By Israel
WASHINGTON (JTA) - An Is¬ raeli delegation led by Charge d'- Affaires Mordechai Gazit formally adhered this week to the Anglo- American Soviet nuclear test-ban treaty at a State Department cere¬ mony.
AFFIXING the formal signature of Israel at ceremonies similar to others held recently in London and Moscow, Gazit said that was Israel's hope that the treaty would lead to an improvement in the international atmosphere, and serve as n positive step toward relaxation of tensions.
He said he hoped it would be fol¬ lowed by further measures for at¬ tainment ot complete general dis¬ armament. He voiced Israel's be¬ lief that lessening of tension be¬ tween the Big Powers would have a salutary effect on the Middle East region.
PHILLIPS TALBOT, Assistant Secretary of State tor Near East Affairs, said he was pleased with Israel's adherence to the treaty, and pointed out that the desire for peace constituted a common bond between Israel and the United States.
She attacked the proposal tor de¬ bate on a total ban on arms ship¬ ments to the area with the asser¬ tion that there was a sharp distinc¬ tion between supplying arms to ag¬ gressors and to defenders. The Gov¬ emment, she added, could not ac¬ cept the leftist version of neutrals ism, and she called tor outright stoppage of delivery ot weapons to the Arab countries, "who proclaim day and night their intent to de¬ stroy Israel."
PRIME MINISTER Levi Eshkol also spoke on the issues raised by the nuclear test ban agreement. The Prime Minister reaffirmed that Israel backed all efforts tor world disarmament, including dis¬ armament by Israel and the Arab countries, and cessation ot arms deliveries, provided there was re¬ ciprocal and international super¬ vision of such cessation and dis-. , armament.
