The recently elevated British and French Ambassadors to Israel. Francis Evans and Eduard Felix Guyon, today presented their new credentials to the Acting President of Israel, Jbseph Sprinzak.
A unit of paratroopers formed the guard of honor as the Ambassadors were received. A military band played first “God Save the Queen” and then the “Marseilleise.” This will be the last official function in Israel for Ambassador Guyon, who is being transferred to Montevideo.
