The Isrel press reported today that the Rumanian Government has resumed arrests of leading Zionists in Bucharest after a period of non-persecution during the last year. The Israel Foreign Ministry refused to deny or confirm the reports.
On the basis of letters received in Jerusalem by relatives of Rumanian Jews, the newspapers said that among the Jews singled out for arrest were those who had approached the Israel Legation in Bucharest to inquire about immigrating to Israel.
