In an important foreign policy address held four days after Israel's conquest of the remaining parts of Mandate Palestine, the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights, President Johnson delineates five principles that should be sought for peace in the Middle East: "first, the recognized right of national life; second, justice for the refugees; third, innocent maritime passage; fourth, limits on the wasteful and destructive arms race; and fifth, political independence and territorial integrity for all." At no point in his address does Johnson call for withdrawal of Israel from the territories it conquered during the war.
