on November 3, 1954, the Syrian Prime Minister, Faris Al Khoury, declared in Parliament:
"Certain Arab leaders say that there can be no peace with Israel before the implementation of the UN resolutions ... They link peace with Israel with these terms. I denounce such a statement, and I say that there is no connection between peace with Israel and the return of the refugees and the UN resolutions ... Whether they return the refugees or not, peace must not be concluded with Israel in any form.
