The Germans are now drafting new proposals to be submitted to Israel to meet the Jewish State’s reparation claims, it was reported here today by sources close to the Israel reparations delegation. These sources said that after receipt of these proposals it would have to be decided whether they offered a satisfactory basis for renewing negotiations. They stressed the recent statement by Premier David Ben Gurion that there was as yet no basis for renewing the talks.
A member of the Israel delegation recently visited The Hague but it was stated here that his visit was to ensure that quarters would be available if and when the talks are eventually resumed. It was stressed that there was no intention of holding the talks anywhere else but at Wassenaar.
