A delegation of the DAIA, Argentine Jewry’s central representative agency, met today with Interior Minister Guillermo Borda concerning a police ban on a scheduled mass meeting last night of solidarity with Israel.
Dr. Isaac Goldenberg, DAIA president, told newsmen after the meeting that the DAIA was still expecting “a clear pronouncement by President Ongania on free navigation in international waterways.” He said that if Argentina declined to take a clear formal stand for that position, it might be endangering its transit rights through the Beagle Canal at the southern tip of South America. He made no comment on the talks with Minister Borda on the meeting ban.
“We have no problem with the local Arab community toward whom we feel as brothers, but we regret that Arabs here follow some of their Nazi-Fascist leaders in the Middle East who are unconditionally at Moscow’s service,” the DAIA leader said.
