Rumors were circulating here today that Israel’s Prime Minister David Ben Gurion may come to the United Nations before the current session of the General Assembly adjourns.
While Israeli circles said that they had heard nothing about the report, it was understood that if Mr. Ben Gurion did come here, the purpose or his visit would be to dramatize before the United Nations Israel’s insistence that it must have UN guarantees against Egyptian or other Arab resumption of carious belligerent sets like military incursions, fedayeen raids, shipping blockades and economic boycott.
The decision on whether or no Mr. Ben Gurion will come here will be made at a special meeting of the Israel Cabinet to be held immediately upon the return of Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel’s Foreign Minister, who left here for Jerusalem last night.
