Israel’s interests in Poland have been entrusted to the care of the Netherlands Embassy in Warsaw, It was learned here today following a meeting between Israel’s Foreign Minister Abba Eban and the Foreign Minister of Holland, Dr. Joseph Luns. Mr. Eban invited Dr. Luns to visit Israel after an exchange of views on the Middle East situation and Israel’s bid for association with the European Common Market. Poland severed diplomatic relations with Israel following last June’s Middle East war.
Mr. Eban addressed a crowded press conference at the Israel Embassy in The Hague. He said that nothing has changed since last week’s military operation against terrorist bases in Jordan and that Israel is still hoping that UN envoy Gunnar Jarring’s peace mission will succeed. He disclosed that in 20 years Israel has lost proportionately more men in battle than the United States has lost in both the Korean and Vietnam wars.
The Israeli Foreign Minister opened the United Israel Campaign in Amsterdam tonight. He will fly to Luxembourg tomorrow and to Brussels on Friday where he will meet Foreign Minister Harmel and the president of the European Commission, Jean Ray. He plans to visit the Scandinavian countries in May.
