Radio Moscow has violently denounced Israel in a broadcast this week-end to the Middle East in a commentary entitled “The Unworthy Part of Israel in the U.S. Imperialist Schemes.”
The broadcast alleged that “every Israeli move on the international scene has always been associated with new plots and provocations against the neighboring Arab countries.” Israel was charged with launching a “bandit attack” last Autumn against Egypt. Later, it was alleged, Israel helped “the King of Jordan establish a regime of terror and aggression.”
Today, said Radio Moscow, “Israel has a part in the U.S. efforts to deprive the people of Syria of their independence.” The broadcast alleged that “there is evidence to show that Israel is openly interfering in Syria’s internal affairs.” The course of Israeli policy, said Moscow, was set “only in the interest of the great imperialist powers.” The broadcast asserted that “it is well known to all that besides its generous financial help to Israel, America also supplies that country with arms.”
