Israel Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett arrived at Lydda International Airport from Paris, where he headed the Israeli delegation to the United Nations, to report to Premier David Ben Gurion. The Foreign Minister said that a special Cabinet meeting was being called to hear his report and to formulate instructions for Ambassador Abba S. Eban who will proceed to Paris immediately after the turn of the year to head the Israeli delegation.
“It is time for the Knesset and the nation to decide whether or not reparations should be demanded directly from Germany,” Mr. Sharett told reporters at the airport. Asked about his meeting with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky at Paris, Mr. Sharett said it was a “routine” meeting and was concerned with mutual relations.
