Yosef Tekoah. Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, was reported today to be in “good condition” by a spokesman for Mt. Sinai Hospital where the envoy has been since Nov. 5. A spokesman for the Israel Mission to the UN said today that Tekoah had been suffering from viral pneumonia. He said he could not make the disclosure earlier because he had been under instruction not to reveal Tekoah’s illness. He did not say who gave him this instruction.
