About 60 Israelis demonstrated in front of the United States Embassy here yesterday to protest what they claimed were indications that the Nixon Administration was altering U.S. Middle East policy in a manner unfavorable to Israel. The counsellor of the Embassy received a delegation of Knesset members representing the Free Center faction, who handed him a statement. Other demonstrators carried placards with such inscriptions as “America, don’t abandon your true friends.” Police were on hand in large numbers but had nothing to do. Some militants observed to reporters that the demonstration was “too peaceful.”
