JERUSALEM (Jul. 10)
Foreign Minister Abba Eban disclosed today that Israel has
asked both Nigeria and its break-away eastern province of Biafra to make
stronger efforts to end their civil war but the appeals have been in vain. Mr.
Eban spoke in reply to questions in the Knesset. His disclosure was the first
that Israel has made direct diplomatic representations in the Biafran
situation.
The Foreign Minister said that Israel would continue to
provide humanitarian help to Biafra and will continue to let the Nigerian
authorities in Lagos know of Israel’s shock and indignation over the plight of
Biafran civilians.
