Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky offered his formal apology to Israeli Premier Menachem Begin Monday for his criticism of the Premier published recently in a Dutch newspaper. Kreisky praised Begin now for having made what he termed not insignificant concessions at the Camp David summit. He called the agreements between Begin, Egypt’s President Anwar Sadat and President Carter an excellent achievement by Carter and a significant breakthrough for peace in the Middle East. At the same time Kreisky warned against too much optimism. The key problem in the Mideast conflict, the Palestinian question, was still unsolved, he said, and the reaction of the Arab states was still unknown.
