Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of Britain is tentatively scheduled to visit Israel May 24-27. It will be the first visit ever by a British Prime Minister to Israel. Thatcher will hold talks with Premier Shimon Peres and other officials.

Peres, meanwhile, received the President of Uruguay, Dr. Julio Maria Sanguinetti, who arrived here from Cairo Thursday accompanied by his wife and a large party of Uruguayan Cabinet ministers and members of parliament. Mrs. Sanguinetti heads the Uruguay-Israel Friendship Society.

The South American leader, here on a five day State visit, conferred with Peres Friday. He and his wife were guests at a dinner given in their honor by President Chaim Herzog Thursday night. Sanguinetti observed on that occasion that there is no prospect for peace in the Middle East as long as the parties directly involved deny Israel’s right to exist and its right to a secure, recognized borders.
