The main resolutions of the summit were expanded and, eight months later, at the 1964 Arab League (Alexandria) summit, they were recorded in a letter to the United Nations. 1 Keesing`s Contemporary Archives, 11 28-12 5, 1964 (vol. 14), p. 20431-20434Google Scholar; and The New York Times, October 12, 1964, p. 1, 3. The summit was directly responsible for Israel`s proposal to dump water from Lake Tiberias. [4] In response to Syria`s repeated accusations of Egyptian aversion to a military confrontation with Israel, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser (1918-1970) pledged to an Arab plan to divert two sources from the Jordan River, the Hasbani River and the Banias. [4] Nasser blamed Arab divisions for what he called a “disastrous situation.” [5] This was the option chosen from two proposals in the 1964 Headwater Diversification Plan. On December 23, 1963, he said: During the summit, Nasser developed friendly relations with King Hussein, and relations with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Syria and Morocco were forged. [12] The summit was to be the first among others: at the end of 1964 a second summit was to be held (Arab League summit (Alexandria) in 1964 in Alexandria, also in Egypt.

Following this second summit, a letter was sent to the United Nations, along with the resolutions that were adopted. A number of important Arab states had not yet secured British independence in 1964, which is why their leaders did not participate in the conference: at that time, Syria and the Palestinian Fedayeens were calling for a re-edition of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, but other Arab states (particularly Egypt under Gamal Abdel Nasser) did not see fit to revolt. Instead, they agreed on the non-military military tactic of diverting water from the Jordan So that Israel could not use it. [3] This deviation was called in 1964 headwater diversion Plan. It runs counter to the original Jordan proposals that were adopted by both Israel and the Arabs in the 1955 Unified Johnston Plan, also known as the Jordan Valley Unified Water Plan. This was one of the factors that then triggered the six-day war in 1967. The Arab League summit in 1964 was the first arab League summit, held in Cairo from 13 to 16 January 1964 and brought together the thirteen member states of the time:[1] United Arab Republic (Egypt), Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Yemen, Libya, Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia, Kuwait and Algeria. 23. A special fund subject to the relevant financial rules and regulations of the OAU is created to provide financial resources to exclusively support the operational activities of the OAU in the management and resolution of disputes. It will consist of financial resources from the OAU`s regular budget, voluntary contributions from Member States and other sources in Africa.
