Anglo–Israeli financial talks will be resumed this month, it was reported today by the Haifa correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph. The writer adds that after receiving Israel’s reply to London proposals, British experts consider that the views of both parties on sterling credits dating from the mandatory regime now permit understanding to be reached.
A British Treasury spokesman today told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the negotiations over the frozen assets would not be delayed until after the coming general elections, which seem virtually certain to be held next month. No date has been set yet for the talks because London is awaiting Israel’s decision on whether it prefers to hold the talks here or in Tel Aviv.
