Israel’s Parliament today rejected attempts by both the right and the left to force a full-scale debate on the dangers of German rearmament.
Motions for a debate, citing the signing of a contractual peace agreement between Bonn and the Western Powers and ending the Allied occupation of West Germany, were filed by Herut deputy Jochanan Bader and Mapam representative Itzhak Bar Yehuda, Mr. Bader stressed the danger of the rearming of both parts of Germany and proposed:
1. That the Israel Government immediately suspend negotiations with the West German Government on reparations claims.
2. That the Israel Government proclaim a world-wide boycott of Germany and that the Government of Israel lead the Jewish nation in this campaign.
3. That the Israel Government bring to the United Nations Security Council the problem of German rearmament and explain its menace.
