President Chaim Herzog will leave shortly for visits to Zaire, Liberia and Swaziland, it was learned here today. Zaire and Liberia recently restored diplomatic relations with Israel which were broken by 28 Black African states after the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

Samuel Pearson, Liberia’s first Ambassador to Israel in a decade, presented his credentials to Herzog today. He told reporters his embassy would be in Tel Aviv. When President Samuel Doe of Liberia visited Israel last August, he said the embassy would be established in Jerusalem.
