WORLD, Page 71World NotesISRAELForecast: More Warm Weather
Ever since a debate over whether to accept the credentials of
Israel's U.N. delegation became an annual event in 1982, the Soviet
Union has sided with Arab countries and voted against seating
representatives of the Jewish state. Last week Moscow abstained on
the matter. It was the latest sign of a warming trend between the
two countries, which have had no diplomatic relations since the
Six-Day War in 1967. Better weather seems to be on the way. Shimon
Peres, Israel's Finance Minister and leader of the Labor Party, has
tentatively accepted a Soviet invitation to visit Moscow. Said a
Western diplomat in the Soviet capital: "I wouldn't be surprised
if diplomatic relations are restored within the next year."
