The meeting took place at the initiative of Al- lon and all aspects of the Mi- deast situation were dis- cussed by the two leaders. According to the Israeli spokesman, Israeli Ambas- sador Chaim Herzog ar- ranged the meeting. The Soviets responded favorably. Accompanying Allon at the meeting were Herzog and Eliyahu Chasin, Allon's political adviser.

There had been unofficial reports of secret and chance meetings between Israel and Soviet diplomats during the past three years in Eu- rope and in Washington, but these were always denied or hedged by either or both sides. Observers at the UN re- frained from making too much of the Allon-Gromyko meeting but noted that both Israel and the Soviet Union had been putting out diplo- matic feelers in occasional statements regarding the advantages of resuming re- lations. For Israel, some observers noted, it would be advantageous to have the Soviet Union, in addition to the U.S., participating in Mideast developments. It would, they noted, re- move Israel's sole depend- ency on the U.S. At the same time, the absence of diplomatic ties with Israel has been a distinct disad- vantage to the USSR in not being able to have her feet in both the Arab and Israeli worlds as the U.S. has.
