"A pro-Israel policy would destroy all hopes of preserving British economic and political interests in the Arab Middle East'; while a pro-Arab policy: would be hard or impossible to adopt: (a) because of British public and political commitment to Israel as an ideal and the political force of support for Israel in the country; (b) because of the pressure which the United States government undoubtedly exert on HMG to keep us in line in any public pronouncements or negotiations on the dispute."
