The Israel Cabinet rejected today the modified plan for the internationalization of Jerusalem presented to the U.N. Trusteeship Council this week in Geneva by Roger Garreau, Council president. However, the Foreign Ministry will send a delegation to Geneva with limited credentials to explain Israel’s attitude toward the plan to members of the Trusteeship Council.
(Reports from Amman today indicated that King Abdullah of Jordan would break off his peace talks with Israel if the Jewish state should agree to the Garreau plan. Israel’s consent to this plan, it was indicated from Amman, would place Jordan in a disadvantageous gosition in view of the fact that the bulk of the Holy Places which M. Garreau proposes be put under U.N. jurisdiction are located in territory now held by Jordan.)
The Cabinet, meanwhile, authorized its Ministerial Committee for Religious Education to devise a system for religious education in the immigrant camps accept-able to all religious groups in the country, thus making an effort to resolve the problem of religicus education in the reception centers. At the same time the Cabinet approved an Israel-Uruguayan barter agreement.
