Dr. Rolf Pauls, West Germany’s departing Ambassador to Israel, declared yesterday that while it had been difficult for him to come to Israel in the first place, he now found it difficult to leave. Dr. Pauls spoke at a farewell reception in his honor at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovoth, an institution with which he had close contacts during his tenure here.
Meyer Weisgal, president of the Weizmann Institute, spoke of Dr. Pauls’ contributions to a better understanding between Israeli and West German scientists. The reception was attended by the American and British ambassadors. Dr. Pauls’ replacement will be Karl Herman Knoke, former Bonn Ambassador to The Netherlands.
