An association of Swiss Friends of the Jewish-Arab Center at Haifa University was founded here to extend financial support for peace efforts between Jews and Arabs at Haifa University, it was announced today. The Association’s president is Willy Guggenheim who is also secretary general of the Federation of Jewish Communities in Switzerland. Andreas Gerwing, a lawyer, is vice president.
Meanwhile, the Swiss Arab Association has embarked on a new campaign to persuade Foreign Minister Pierre Aubert to extend an official invitation to Farouk Kaddoumi, head of political affairs of the Palestine Liberation Organization, to visit Switzerland. The Arab lobby here has been trying since January, 1979, to have Kaddoumi invited, but Aubert, who does not favor the idea, has put them off.
