The Israel delegation participating in the International Students Congress, now meeting in Prague, walked out demonstratively last night in protest against an attack on Israel by a Syrian delegate. The Syrian assailed Israel as the aggressor in the Middle East.

An Israel demand for the opportunity to reply to the attack received some support from other delegations.
