There is no “technical possibility” for a meeting before next weekend between Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and Argentina’s President Arturo Frondizi, a Foreign Ministry spokesman declared here today.
Both statesmen are in Europe this week. Hopes had been expressed in many quarters that they might get together before Wednesday, when the United Nations Security Council is scheduled to take up an Argentine grievance against Israel in connection with the transfer of Adolf Eichmann from Argentina to Israel.
The itineraries of both Mr. Ben-Gurion and Mr. Frondizi, said the spokesman, preclude the possibility of their meeting before the weekend. Mr. Ben-Gurion is in Belgium today, and is scheduled to spend the latter part of the week in The Netherlands. He was scheduled to leave Amsterdam for home on Friday.
