Prior to his departure for Israel tonight, Israeli Ambassador Yosef Tekoah met with Secretary General Thant this afternoon to discuss “the general political situation, especially the next General Assembly” and to present him with more petitions on behalf of freedom for Soviet Jews, sources here said today. The Assembly will convene the third week of September, and the Arab states may again submit a spate of anti-Israel resolutions. In addition to discussing in Israel the question of possible United Nations membership for the People’s Republic of China, as reported today, Tekoah will confer in Jerusalem on these “future texts” in the Assembly.
