Dr. Felix Shinnar, head of the Israel Mission in Cologne, said here today that the agreement on final reparations payments by West Germany to Israel may be signed in Jerusalem instead of Cologne.
Dr. Shinnar said that the signing, originally scheduled for tomorrow, had been postponed. He added that the delay has nothing to do with Israel’s disagreement with Bonn over the halting of arms shipments.
