Mrs. Golda Meir, Israeli Foreign Minister, expressed the opinion last night that the Soviet Union, in its eagerness to penetrate into the Middle East, would not hesitate to harm Israel to achieve that goal.
Speaking at a closed meeting of the Reserve Air Force Officers Association, Mrs. Meir also warned that the Eisenhower Administration policy, based on “good Arabs” like King Saud of Saudi Arabia and King Hussein of Jordan, might bring American reconsideration of present support of free and innocent navigation rights in the Suez Canal for all nations.
She said that despite hesitations of Prime Minister Nehru of India about establishment of diplomatic relations between his country and Israel, the policy of the Israeli Government remains one of seeking rapprochement between the Jewish State and the Afro-Asian countries.
