•JERUSALEM (JTA)-Israel has-asked the United States "to make an urgent reappraisal of the actual and expected balance of forces" in the Middle East and, in effect, to reconsider its decision, not to provide Israel jwith—the. additional—Phantomand Skyhawk jets it requested last September. Israel's official reply to Secretary Rogers' announcement was made public by Foreign Minister Abba Eban. Mr. Eban said that "Israel's ability to withstand and repel attack is the only concrete factor capable of deterring the Arab states from renewing the war in full scale and fury. If these governments i m a g i n e that our air strength will lag behind the reenforcement of the Arab states in aircraft, the chance of avoiding an expanding conflict will seriously diminish." The Israeli Foreign Minister said that this view was presented to the U.S. last September when Israel asked the U.S. Government to enable it to buy a number of additional aircraft for delivery in 1971-72. "Wo were convinced that the consequent dangers-could only be effectively met by making Israel stronger and by ensuring that there be no illusion that Israel could be successfully attacked," Mr. Eban said. "Accordingly, Israel awaited the United States response in a mood, of deep • suspense. «The absence of a positive response by the United States at this stage hast aroused our disappointment and concern." Soviet Missiles The Israeli Foreign Minister stated that "In recent days it has become established beyond all doubt that something of serious consequence has t a k e n place. The Soviet Union.has introduced' into Egypt a missile" . system of < the SAM-3 category,
accompanied by a substantial ' number of Soviet personnel designed for its activation. The purpose of this missile system is to serve the Egyptians as an umbrella, under whose shelter they plan to intensify their continued attacks across the ceasefire-lines;—- — -.™-...™._. ,™. This weapons system repre-
sents a new political ^and military dimension which' all thosa concerned for the balance of forces and the promotion of stability in our region must take into serious account." Mr., Eban said, "We believe that this development greatly strengthens" the urgency of a response toour security request."
