A week of discussions at the Israel Foreign Ministry believed to have centered on an anticipated new United States initiative to ease the Arab refugee problem, ended today.
Avraham Harman, Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, and Michael Comay, head of Israel’s delegation to the United Nations, took part in the talks, as did Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel’s Foreign Minister, and other key officials. The talks included two long sessions with Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion.
Although officials refused to comment on the meetings, it had been indicated earlier that they presumably dealt with the expected initiative which it was understood would be started by the U. S. state Department. During his visit, Mr. Harman discussed Israel-American economic relations with Finance Minister Levi Eshkol and Agriculture Minister Moshe Dayan.
