Israel has never been approached by any foreign state on the possibility of establishment of foreign bases here, a Foreign Ministry spokesman reiterated today. Reacting to New York dispatches reporting such negotiations, the spokesman said:
“Israel has never been approached on such a matter. No talks on this matter have taken place. There have been no ‘feelers.’ There is no need for an official ‘reaction’ to these reports or to ‘details’ about such contacts. Such ‘details’ intend to give an appearance of authenticity to reports devoid in fact of any foundation.”
