Extract

At the invitation of President Nasser of the United Arab Republic, the heads of state of eleven of the thirteen member countries of the Arab League met in Cairo on January 13–16, 1964, to consider Israel's plan for the partial diversion of the waters of the Jordan River for the purpose of irrigating the Negev Desert. (The chiefs of staff of the eleven Arab countries met in Cairo on December 6–9, 1963, to discuss the Jordan waters question, but no statement was issued.)
