SOVIET AND ISRAEL
Relations To Be Resumed
(Rec. 9 p.m.) MOSCOW, July 21. The resumption of diplomatic relations between Russia and Israel after a break of five months, which was announced yesterday, is seen by diplomatic observers in Moscow as an indication that Russian foreign policy is being maintained firmly and without change along the path Mr Malenkov has set.
Moscow observers recalled that at the outset of the Malenkov regime the Russian Government expressed the belief that outstanding questions between Russia and other nations could be sqlyed by peaceful negotiation. Russia has now agreed to exchange ambassadors once again with Israel. Besides confirming Western forecasts that the Russian “peace offensive” would go on in spite of the dismissal of the Chief of the Soviet Police, Mr Lavrenty Beria, the new announcement on relations with Israel is also believed to mark the end of the Russian anti-Zionist policy, which began two months before Stalin’s death last March. The Soviet Union also recently offered to exchange ambassadors with Jugoslavia for the first time since Marshal Tito broke with the Cominform in 1948.
