The Israel Government is expected to hand over to Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Bodrov tomorrow a brief reply to the recent Soviet note protesting the Israel action in permitting the Anglo-American airlift over Israel to Jordan.
It is understood the Israeli reply will be in two parts. The first rejects the Soviet protest and stresses that the forces involved in the airlift were sent in support of the legitimate government in Jordan. The second part, it is understood, again calls on the Soviet Government to demonstrate its desire for peace in the Middle East.
