Israel’s Foreign Ministry today presented the diplomatic representatives of the United States, Britain and France with a reply to a suggestion to terminate the war with Germany.
In its reply the Israel Government pointed out that the Jewish state is unable to take action parallel to that of the three powers on the question of peace with Germany. The Israel Government, the document said, must take steps to deal with the claims which the Jewish state has against Germany.
In presenting its views on peace with Germany, the Foreign Ministry made it clear that Israel’s stand in rejecting the three-power proposal is a result of the fact that many Israelis have been affected physically and morally by the “ghastly events” in Germany and its satellites during the last war.
