Nasser Spending $500,000,000 for Anti-Israel War Tel Aviv (JTA)—The Nasser regime in Egypt is investing $500,000,000, one-seventh of its national income, in the development of ground-to-ground rockets and other offensive weapons, Shimon Peres, Israel's Deputy Defense Minister, asserted. He told a rally that European experts oi) Arab affairs, were convinced that the Arabs were serious in their unremitting threats against Israel, that they had not given up their aggressive intentions, and did not despair of realizing them. He cited the feverisli efforts of the surrounding Arab regimes to pile up arms, and noted their an'Hsrael propaganda and economic warfare. He said that those measures were intended to isolate Israel, to build up an arsenal of offensive weapons, and ultimately to use these armaments against Israel. He said other weapons, which Egypt is developing included pocket submarines and Egyptian-made jet planes. The defense official said Nasser was portraying himself, to various elements in the light that each wanted.
