The Israeli Foreign Ministry
has asked Italy to handle Israeli
interests in the East African
African country although there
has been no formal break yet in
diplomatic relations between Is-
rael and Uganda.
Amin did not announce a break
when he ordered the Israeli Em-
bassy closed, and some Israeli offi-
cials claim that closing down the
embassy does not necessarily
mean the termination of diplomatic
relations with Uganda. However,
other officials believe a formal
break will come any day.
Withdrawal of Israel's diplomatic
mission followed evacuation of the
Israeli military mission from Ug-
anda at Amin's demand. He had
accused Israeli personnel of con-
stituting a fifth column that was
trying to overthrow his regime.
In addition to the diplomatic
and military missions, several
hundred Israelis were empolyed
by private firms on various con-
struction projects in Uganda.
These projects were terminated
by Amin last week and most of
the employes and their families
have returned to Israel.
The Israeli interests which Italy
has been asked to look after in
Uganda include heavy mechanical
equipment left behind on the in-
terrupted construction work and
a debt of some $20,000,000 owed
Israel by Uganda.
Meanwhile, Israel has disontinued
the production of about 600 military
command cars that Amin ordered
when he visited Israel several
months ago.
About 24 of the -cars were de-
livered to Uganda but the Israel
representative who accompanied
them was ordered out of that
country soon after he registered
at his hotel.
Production of the cars was can-
celed following his expulsion
Official comment in government
circles here has been restrained
evidently to avoid worsening the
breach. Israel's Chief of staff, Gen.
David Elazar, praised the job done
by the military mission to Uganda.
He called Amin's charge that
the Israeli personnel was engaged
in espionage "baseless slander."
