Greece, which gave the State of Israel de facto recognition after its establishment, announced its intention to appoint a diplomatic representative to the Jewish State. M. Moschopoulos, Greek Consul General in Jerusalem, called at the Israeli Foreign Office here this week-end and formally notified Israel of his government’s decision. M. Moschopoulos will be the Greek representative.

The Greek decision was hailed here as an indication of closer relations between the two Mediterranean states and hopes were expressed that Greek de jure recognition of Israel would be forthcoming soon. Greece was the only European country to vote at the United Nations in 1947 against the establishment of the Jewish State.
