Israel has received no word from Hungary that she wants to reestablish diplomatic relations with the Jewish State, Foreign Ministry sources said Tuesday. A report to that effect was broadcast Monday night on Israel television by its correspondent in Zurich who is covering Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan’s visit there. The report attributed the story to an abstruse source associated indirectly with Dayan’s party. Hungary broke off relations with Israel at the outbreak of the Six-Day War, the same time the Soviet Union did.
