the territories under the League of Nations. And they returned to'the land in defensive war fought against a hostile Jordan. Never has a nation given up or been compelled to give up territory occupied in a defensive war. Any talk of coercing Israel from the territories is denying its just rights to the land under international law and long-established principles. If there is justice left in the world. Israel will prevail in its claim.
