The United Arab Republic delegation to the first conference of independent African states has suffered a political setback in its failure to push through an anti-Israel resolution, it was noted here today at the conclusion of the conference. The UAR delegation is headed by Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi who has rarely failed in recent years to obtain a “Palestine” resolution scolding Israel at any conference where Arab states have been represented to any substantial extent.
The meeting here includes the representatives of three Arab and five Negro states. Ghana, the host country, has been forthright in its friendship for Israel, having entered into a number of technical and economic arrangements with the Jewish State. Ghana only recently gave Israel Foreign Minister Golda Meir one of the most triumphal visits an Israeli statesman has ever had abroad.
