Israel Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett attacked Egyptian Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser tonight for the role he was playing in hectoring Israel, increasing world tension and playing off the powers one against the other. Speaking at the 12th national Hapoel Hamizrachi conference here, Mr. Sharett said the Col. Nasser had attempted to deceive the world that he was a constructive statesman, but that his recent activities had unmasked him and cleared the picture for the world.
Speaking of the current situation facing Israel, the Foreign Minister said it was the most critical time in Israel’s history since the “roar of artillery was silenced” at the end of the War of Liberation. He welcomed the forthcoming visit of United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold and wished him success in his pacification mission.
