The Israel Government has not decided to bar the immigration of Ethiopian Jews for reasons of health, an Immigration Department spokesman declared today, although medical experts have warned against the admission of immigrants from tropical countries without prior medical examination. The spokesman said that such examinations would be carried out when the issue of Falasha immigration arises.
