Israel Ambassador Abba Eban took off by plane today for a brief visit to Israel where he will confer with government officials on American-Israel relations. He will return to this country before the regular session of the United Nations General Assembly opens about September 15.
During his absence, David Goitein, Minister Plenipotentiary, will be Charge d’Affaires at the Embassy. Mr. Goltein himself is soon to be replaced by Reuben Shiloah, who is reportedly coming to this country when Mr. Eban returns.
