Willi Ritter, head of the Middle East section of the Bonn Government press office, will visit Israel next month in the course of a tour of the Middle East. He will spend several days in this country as a guest of the Foreign Office.
A visa for Herr Ritter was issued after the Israel purchasing mission in Cologne was approached by the Bonn Government. The same department which requested the visa verified that Herr Ritter had never engaged in political activity and had been opposed to Nazism.
