U.N. mediator Count Folke Bernadotte has not made any final rules concerning the admission of men of military age as immigrants to Israel, a cable from his headquarters in Haifa to the U.N. headquarters here reported today.
The cable said that the mediator told this to a press conference in Haifa last night. It added that he may take up the question with Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok prior to his leaving this week-end for Rhodes, where he will prepare his report for the U.N. General Assembly which opens in Paris on September 21.
The cable also states that Bernadotte told the press conference that he had “speedily transmitted messages to the Arab Governments on the Jewish offer of direct peace talks.”
