Diplomatic sources confirmed Monday that the United States has been encouraging Israel to establish diplomatic relations with South Vietnam. The sources said that active U.S. encouragement of diplomatic dialogues between all political blocs indicated that the time was ripe for Israel to play a role in the post-war aid program to Indo-China where Israel’s experience in development and agriculture could be helpful. Objections from Mapam and the left-wing of the Labor Party has prevented Israel from taking positive steps in this direction, sources said.
