A senior delegation of the German-Israel Association of West Germany will visit Israel from June 25 to 30. State Secretary Heinz Westphal, the Association chairman, will lead the delegation.
The delegation will meet leading Israeli government members and public figures to discuss a number of sensitive points in German-Israeli relations. These include public opinion in Germany and Israel on the liberation of the three Munich assassins at Zagreb; the Libyan airliner disaster, and the Israeli commando raids on Beirut. The question of terrorism in general will be raised as well as the question “Where does terrorism stop and the defense of one’s own interests begin?” The German public has been critical of Israel over the Beirut and Sinai incidents. Another point will be the position of the Arabs in Israel.
