The hope that the migration of Jews from Rumania to Israel will be resumed in the near future was expressed here today by a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry following press reports that the Rumanian Government had unexpectedly halted all migration to the Jewish State.
“Rumania’s promise that Jewish immigration will be continued will be fulfilled,” the spokesman said, adding that this would be so because “immigration from Rumania is of benefit to both countries.”
The spokesman also commented on a report broadcast by the Damascus radio last week that the Syrians would soon commence a Hebrew language news broadcast to tell the “truth about Middle East developments” to the Jews in Israel. The Israeli spokesman welcomed the projected broadcasts and expressed the hope that they would bring about a rapprochement between the two countries.
