Lieutenant General David Dragunsky, the Soviet Jewish army officer currently visiting Paris, will be granted a visa to visit Israel if and when he should request one, the Foreign Ministry spokesman declared here today.
The spokesman expressed the Government’s readiness to grant a visa on commenting on a press conference in Paris this weekend in which Gen. Dragunsky said he would like to visit Israel but was “sure Ben-Gurion would not grant me a visa.”
