An Egyptian mission scheduled to arrive here this week to discuss the West German-Israel reparations pact has postponed its visit “indefinitely,” it was learned here today. The decision came as a surprise to Bonn Government circles and apparently the Egyptians gave no reason for the delay.
Sources close to the government say that the Egyptian Government has established a special commission, including Secretaries of State of various Ministries, to draft boycott measures against Germany in the event that the Bundestag ratifies the reparations treaty.
