relied upon as justification for cold-blooded attacks on innocent civilians. Israel has repeatedly warned over the years against the subversion of the United Nations system and its subjugation to the criminal objectives of a terrorist organization bent on mass murder and de­ struction. It is certainly regrettable that. in clear viola­ tion of its Charter. the United Nations should have granted irregular rights and privileges to this foremost exponent of international terrorism. In this connection. it is also worth noting that on 11 January. the state-controlled Radio Riadh of Saudi Arabia expressed support for this wanton act. Its commentator praised the attack in glowing terms as one of the most important conducted against Israel in recent years. noting that .. the Palestinian Fedayeen chose Tel-Aviv. because it is the enemy" s strategic security and political depth··. For its part. the Government of Israel will continue to take the measures necessary to protect the lives of its citizens and to ensure their safety. I have the honour to request that this letter be cir­ culated as a document of the General Assembly and of the Security Council. (Sign£'cf) Yehuda Z.
