Koch Drops Soviet Jewry Relief' Bill
After Atty. General Vows Refugee Aid
BONN (JTA)—Israell Ambassa-
dor to West Germany Eliashiv Ben
florin Monday told a meeting of
Bundestag m embers that Israel
does not oppose a resumption of
German-Arab diplomatic relations
on the condition that this „is not
done at Israel's expense.'
Ben-Horin said "Israel is not in-
terested in having the Arab states
remain isolated and outside inter-
national currents and trends for-
ever."
He moreover hinted that should
Bonn's relations with the Arab
states be resumed, the West Ger-
man government could well use its
influence in Cairo in a moderating
sense.
The Israeli ambassador said that
he was "optimistic" about the fu-
ture development of Israel-German
relations and also condemned the
Arab boycott which disrupts trade
exchanges between Israel and the
