A member of the Knesset (Parliament) resigned his seat yesterday, criticizing the Government’s decision to send a parliamentary delegation on a goodwill visit to West Germany next spring. Prof. Dov Sadan, of the Mapai faction of the Israel Labor Party, said that if a Government that enjoys a majority in Parliament can decide on a mission to West Germany it should “let the ministers go but not members of the Knesset.” Prof. Sadan said he had wanted to resign for some time but heeded his party’s request that he remain, adding “This was the last straw.”
(Nine visiting Israeli journalists joined 10 West German newsmen at a seminar that opened in Bad Godesberg yesterday to discuss matters of common interest. The Israelis arrived here on the inaugural flight of Lufthansa, the German national airline, which has just established regular flights to Israel. They were scheduled to meet Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger and other officials today.)
