A statement by Prime Minister Nehru of India in the Indian Parliament that “voices from Israel” have given “reason for concern” about Israel reactions to the Egyptian-Syrian union evoked “deep regret” and surprise in political circles in Jerusalem today.
Political observers said it was hard to understand what “voices” Nehru had in mind, particularly since Israel officials have carefully abstained from both official and unofficial comment. The observers suggested that apparently Nehru was unable to hear well in Israel, probably because he had no representatives here who could tell him the truth about Israel.
