A spokesman for the West German mission in Cairo has categorically denied an East German allegation that the Federal Republic was supplying Israel with weapons and training Israeli pilots. Walter Jesser told Egyptian authorities that the statement of East German Communist Party propaganda chief Albert Norden was completely false.

Norden who visited Egypt recently told the newspapers A1 Ahram and Akbar El-Yom that there was a department of the West German Defense Ministry devoted solely to fulfilling Israeli military demands.
