Ambassador Karl G. Herman Knoke, West Germany’s new envoy to Israel, arrived here yesterday and is scheduled to present his credentials to President Shazar on Aug. 21. Ambassador Knoke told reporters that sympathy for Israel had grown stronger in West Germany since the Six-Day War and added that it was his country’s aim to see peace prevail in the Middle East. “For the time being I have mastered just one word of Hebrew and that is ‘Shalom,'” he said.
