Three Israeli representatives–one of them an official of the Foreign Office–left this morning for Paris to meet with Israel’s Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett and with the American Jewish leaders who arrived there yesterday for consultations on the forthcoming negotiations with Germany on Jewish reparations claims.
The Israeli representatives took with them a large quantity of documents pertaining to Israel’s claim against Germany as well as a list of commodities and materials Israel will seek to obtain from Germany as part of the reparations. The Israeli delegation may proceed from Paris to London where an international parley on the Jewish claims against Germany is scheduled to take place within a few days.
The American Jewish leaders who are now meeting in Paris with Foreign Minister Sharett on methods of coordinating the Israeli claims with those of Jewish groups outside of Israel are: Dr. Nahum Goldmann, Jacob Blaustein, Frank Goldman, Adolph Held and Moses A. Leavitt-all members of the praesidium of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. They will proceed from Paris to London after the conclusion of their consultations with Mr. Sharett.
Ehud Avriel, director of Premier Ben Gurion’s office, returned here today from Paris where he participated in a conference of Israeli diplomats in connection with the reparations claims on Germany. Present at the conference were Foreign Minister Sharett, the Israeli Ministers assigned to London and Paris, and Israel’s Ambassador in Washington, Dr. Nahum Goldmann, chairman of the Jewish Agency, attended the parley.
