Well again BiSon1 twists the facts to suit his narrative. UNSC 54 The Avalon Project : United Nations Security Council Resolution 54; July 15, 1948 was made regarding the extension of a truce negotiated on 19th May 1948 which would come into force on 11th June and last 28 days, ending on 11th July 1948. Both sides had to be pressured into accepting the truce and both sides violated the terms of the truce. UNSC 53 The Avalon Project : United Nations Security Council Resolution 53; July 7, 1948 was merely a request to extend the truce, which the Zionist side agreed to in princple as it was to their advantage, the Arab League prevaricated. There was no accusation or condemnation of agression by the U.N. towards the Arab league and both sides complied with UNSC 54. This is known as the second truce period of the war of 1948.
