West Berlin’s Lord Mayor Klaus Schuetz has called for guaranteed and secure frontiers for Israel. Speaking at the 40th anniversary celebrations of the Children’s and Young People’s Aliya at the Axel Springer Publishing House in West Berlin, Schuetz declared:
“We have called for secured frontiers and a secured existence for Israel in past years, and also at the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War, and we shall make the same call again and again, whether it suits certain people or not.”
About 300 guests from the West Berlin Jewish community and from public life attended the ceremony. Schuetz, who will shortly visit Israel, paid tribute to the founders of the Jewish Children’s Aid Campaign, Recha Freier and Baroness Alix de Rothschild.
