Israel Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett verbally protested to Soviet Russia against the anti-Israel allegations made by Nikita Khruschev leader of the Communist Party in the USSR, in the course of a speech last week at the Supreme Soviet in Moscow. Mr. Sharett summoned Ambassador Alexander Abramov to his office and conveyed to him the view of the Israel Government on Khruschev’s anti-Israel speech.
The entire Israel press, with the exception of the Communist, came out with articles condemning Khruschev’s anti-Israel assertions as “a desecration of the truth” and emphasizing that they are increasing the danger of war on Israel’s frontiers. (In New York, the American Jewish Congress issued a statement condemning the Soviet Union for Khruschev’s attack on Israel.)
