A group of four Israeli journalists left Wednesday for Moscow for a 10-day visit of Russia where they will participate in a congress on “international cultural exchanges.” Journalists from 30 countries are participating in this congress. The Israeli journalists are: Haim Tal of Itim. Gil Keisari of Maariv. Sarah Manobla of Kol Israel and photographer Werner Braun. They received their visas at the Soviet Consulate in Geneva. This is one of the few cases since the Six-Day War that Israelis have been granted visas to the USSR.
