  • Story Text: Israel's former Ambassador to Argentina, Arieh Levavi returned to Lydda Airport, outside Tel Aviv, Aug 4, after being declared Persona non grata, by the Argentine Government on July 23. To greet him at the airport was Israel's Foreign Minister, Mrs Golda Meir. Mr. Levavi was asked to leave Buenos Aires after the abduction of former S.S.Colonel Adolf Eichmann.

    Foreign Minister Golda Meir told the press at the airport that their relations with Argentina were now "excellent" and the happy end to the discord between the two countries over the Eichmann affair, came through the direct negotiations between Israel and the Argentine. "There was no mediation from any other source", she said.

    Mr. Levavi is to resume his former position as Assistant Director-General of the Foreign Ministry. It is thought that new ambassadors between the two countries will be exchanged soon.
