 The Jarring Mission
Gunnar Jarring, Sweden's Ambassador to the Soviet Union, a country which had broken off its diplomatic relations with Israel, was appointed, retaining his ambassadorial assignment to Moscow.
During the following weeks, Ambassador Jarring paid repeated visits to the countries concerned in an endeavour to obtain from the Israelis a more precise formulation of their acceptance of the resolution and from the two Arab States acceptance of the idea of meetings between the parties under his auspices.
Ambassador Jarring was faced with a position where there was now agreement, though clearly with considerable differences of interpretation, on the first two paragraphs of his proposed invitation, but where there was disagreement on the third paragraph containing the actual invitation.

GUNNAR JARRING is a model of the classic diplomat: discreet, discerning and infinitely patient.
Jarring's determination to remain "an impeccably behaved Western Union messenger," as an observer put it, disturbed some who participated in his unsuccessful round of indirect talks.
But Jarring is convinced that the two sides must find ways of living together of their own accord, and can do so if kept in touch by a determined go-between.

 Rogers Plan in 1969
Gunnar Jarring, Sweden's Ambassador to the Soviet Union, was appointed by the United Nations to work with Israel and the Arab states to try to implement UN Security Council Resolution 242.
This was a strange appointment because Jarring remained Ambassador to the Soviet Union, a country which had broken off its diplomatic relations with Israel, making it difficult or impossible for Jarring to do anything that might be viewed as favorable to Israel.
Jarring met with parties in the Middle East in early 1968, but the Arab states refused direct or even indirect contact with Israel and Jarring was not the man to challenge them.

 ZNet |Mideast | Questions On Israel
I don't see that Jarring's proposal says anything about full withdrawal as a commitment, although he mentions a "settlement in accordance" with UN 242, interpreted differently by Israel over the rest of the world.
We should also bear in mind that Jarring's proposal, and Egypt's response, were 100% rejectionist: there is no recognition of any Palestinian right of self-determination (as in UN 242), a position that we would call "racist," maybe a reversion to Nazism, if the shoe were on the other foot.
You said Jarring's phrase, "the international boundary between Egypt and the British mandate for Palestine," was the pre-June 1967 border.

In 1982 the Swedish diplomat and philologist Gunnar Jarring (1907-2002) donated his unique collection of manuscripts from Eastern Turkistan to the university library in Lund.
Gunnar Jarring bought part of the collection himself when travelling in the area, other books came from the Swedish missionaries who worked in Eastern Turkistan, in the Eastern Chinese province of Sinkiang (or Xinjiang) between 1894 and 1938.
Its primary goal is to deal with the aspect of preservation since many of the books are written on local, brittle, Khotan paper, and to make a summary catalogue of the collection accessible on line.

 War of Attrition Diplomacy
The evolution of the first phase of the jarring mission is described in a report submitted to the security council by U Thant on January 4, 1971, which basically call upon Israel to withdraw, once more, to the 1949 armistice lines.
As the jarring mission was still deadlocked, the United States government decided to undertake a new initiative with the object of bringing about a cease-fire on the Israel-egypt front and resumption of the jarring talks.
These proposals endorsed un resolution 242 and the efforts of the jarring mission, calling for a cease-fire agreement and Israel's withdrawal to the 1949 armisitce lines.
