Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told a press conference here that Israel is justified in opposing a Palestinian state since such a state would become a Soviet military base. He praised the Israeli-Egyptian peace agreement. Kissinger was a special guest at a luncheon for Max Shein, on industrialist and philanthropist, given by the Mexican, United States and Canadian branches of the Friends of the Haifa Technion. Shein received the Technion’s Albert Einstein Award from Gen. Amos Horev, the Haifa school’s president.
