NEW YORK (JTA) — The
New York Times reported from
Ca i r o that a "responsible
source" had denied that the
United Arab Republic was dis-
criminating against Jews as
charged by Zachariah Shuster,
European director of the Amer-
ican Jewish Committee.
The Cairo source was quoted
as saying that several thousand
Jews left Egypt just after the
Suez Canal fighting started and
that many of them were state-
less Jews or held foreign pass-
ports. The source told The
Times that except in special
cases, no one with a British or
French passport was being per-
mitted entry to Egypt or Syria
because diplomatic _relations
were suspended with those
countries.
The Cairo spokesman also was
quoted as saying that some
Jews emigrated to Israel and
had sought re-entry after be-
coming dissatisfied with life in
Israel but they were barred be-
cause the UAR was in "state of
war" with Israel.
(Dr. Shuster had charged that
the UAR has forbidden the re-
turn to Arab territory of any
Jew who once resided there, but
left. More than 25,000 Jews
have left Egypt since 1956 be-
cause of the persecutory poli-
cies of Nasser against Jews.
According to Dr. Shuster, the
decree is so worded that even
Jewish tourists who have spent
but a few hours in Egypt are
barred from ever returning.)
(The new law also reportedly
gives the UAR Minister of the
Interior the power to denatural-
ize any "Zionist," the word
"Zionist" not being defined.
Any of the 22,000 Jews remain-
ing in UAR territory could be
deprived of their citizenship at
the discretion of the Interior
Minister.)
