The Security Council,

Having taken note of the report of the Chief of Staff of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization in Palestine dated 23 October 1953, [1]

Desirous of facilitating the consideration of the question, without however prejudicing the rights, claims or position of the parties concerned,

2. Notes with satisfaction the statement made by the Israel representative at the 631st meeting regarding the undertaking given by his Government to suspend the works in question during that examination;

3. Relies on [2] the Chief of Staff of the Truce Supervision Organization to inform it regarding the fulfilment of that undertaking.
