A party of 957 Egyptian expellees arrived in Naples today aboard the Egyptian vessel Misri. Their voyage was conducted under the auspices of the International Red Cross.
The group, the largest to leave Egypt since the Nasser Government’s decision to exile Jews, was met by Rabbi Herbert Friedman executive vice president of the United Jewish Appeal, and Moses Leavitt, executive vice chairman of the Joint Distribution Committee. The largest part of the group has indicated a desire to immigrate to Israel.
