52 years ago today, December 21, 1973 (November 27, 1973 in the lunar calendar), the Middle East Peace Conference was held in Geneva. On the morning of December 21, 1973, the "Middle East Peace Conference" opened at the Nations Building in Geneva. United Nations Secretary-General Waldheim presided over the opening meeting. This "Middle East Peace Conference" was held under the planning of the two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States. Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko and U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger were the co-chairmen of the meeting. On December 18, Soviet representative Malik and U.S. representative Bennett met with United Nations Secretary-General Waldheim and handed over letters with the same content from the Soviet Union and the United States to the United Nations Secretary-General. The letter informed Waldheim that "the meeting should be co-chaired by the Soviet Union and the United States" and asked him to "serve as the convener of the meeting and preside over the opening phase of the meeting." The meeting was attended by Egypt, Jordan and Israel. Syria, one of the main parties, refused to participate in the meeting. An official spokesman for Syria issued a statement on December 18 declaring: "In view of the various indications provided by the current situation, some tactics are being played to serve Israel's interests and allow the (Geneva Peace) Conference to discuss local issues. This discussion of local issues causes us to waste endless time, with the aim of freezing the substantive issue of formulating a timetable for complete withdrawal from the territories occupied in 1967 and specific formulas to guarantee the rights of the Palestinian Arab people. In view of all this, it has been decided that the Syria Arab Republic will not participate in the Geneva Conference to be held on 21 December this year. Egyptian Foreign Minister Fahmy emphasized in his speech at the meeting: "Egypt is determined to fight for peace, and is equally determined to try to liberate the land of Egypt and the land of other Arab countries no matter what, and strive for the Palestinians to enjoy peace and dignity." The legitimate right to a life." He said: "Egypt and all other Arab countries cannot be conquered by force. They will not allow their land to continue to be occupied. The Arab world will not allow the Palestinians to continue to be treated inhumanely, and the peaceful city of Jerusalem to continue to be under the banner of the conquerors." Fahmy pointed out: "People of all countries will not bargain or trade their territory, and the Arab nation is no exception. If you want the Arabs to give up part of their territory, you would be a complete misunderstanding of the Arabs 'determination, and that's sad." In his speech, Jordanian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Zeid Rifaei condemned Israel's 25 years of continuous aggression against Arab countries. "Occupy land by force is something that the Arabs will never agree to," he said. Rifai stressed that Israeli troops must withdraw from all occupied Arab lands. The national rights of the Palestinian people must be restored. In his speech, Foreign Minister Eban, the representative of Israel's Zionists, defended Israel's successive wars of aggression against Arab countries and brutally insisted that Israel "cannot return to the ceasefire line from 1949 to 1967." Eban's remarks were refuted by Egyptian Foreign Minister Fahmy. Gromyko and Kissinger also spoke at the meeting. On the morning of the 22nd, the meeting turned into a secret meeting and ended in an hour. In a statement issued after the meeting, U.N. Secretary-General Waldheim said the meeting "will continue its work by establishing a military working group and other working groups that the meeting hopes to establish at some point in the future." "Each working group will report on their findings and recommendations to the meeting. "The ministerial meeting will be held again in Geneva as events require."
