The Israel Cabinet last night considered the situation along the Israel-Egyptian border in the Gaza area following a decision of the Israel-Egyptian Mixed Armistice Commission to condemn Egypt for four attacks in Israel territory last Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
The Ministers also adopted an interim budget of 32,000,000 pounds for development purposes for the next two months to keep projects now in progress from closing down. The interim expenditures will be presented for approval to the Parliamentary Finance Committee, which will meet during the Knesset’s Passover recess.
