Brief Soviet Israeli talks end after 90 minutes in Helsinki
The first formal Soviet Israel meeting in 19 years ended abruptly when the Soviet side called the initial 90 minute session sufficient. Israel pressed issues on Jewish treatment in Moscow and Moscow's Middle East policy, which the Soviets rejected as inappropriate. Ehud Gol called the exchange candid and concrete and said contacts should continue through proper channels. It remains unclear if the talks signal real policy change or a propaganda exercise. The Soviet delegation avoided journalists at the Helsinki session.
