November 1968 CE

Egypt had agreed in May 1968 to accept the resolution if Israel agreed to evacuate all occupied areas.

By accepting the resolution, Egypt has for the first time implicitly recognizes the existence—and the right to continued existence—of Israel.

In return, Egypt has gained a UN commitment to the restoration of Sinai.

The PLO rejects the resolution because it refers to the Palestinians only as "refugees" and thus appears to dismiss Palestinian demands for self-determination and national rights.

Syria characterizes the plan as a "sellout" of Yasser Arafat and the PLO.
