March 17, 1989	GDR Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Department Near and Middle East, 'On the Question regarding a Short-term Establishment of Diplomatic Relations with Israel' On the basis of the information of Kurt Loeffler's visit to Israel, Neumann proposes a list of measures concerning diplomatic contacts in Israel. He says that a change in the Israeli attitude toward conflict in the Middle East is necessary in order for the GDR to establish further contacts in Israel. Neumann discusses other factors which encourage or discourage the establishment of further contact.
June 30, 1986	[GDR] Contacts with Israel Attachment to a letter from Koenig to Sieber dated 10 July 1986. This report assesses the increase in contact between the GDR and Israel, especially in the field of culture and science. It identifies the advantages and disadvantages of this development, including the negative impression it might create in Arab countries. Greater contact with Israel may damage the GDR's relations with the Arab countries. A proposal is made on the basis of this analysis: all contact with Israel must be carefully coordinated with the GDR Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The report provides a general list of basic principles for relations with Israel. Attached is a note containing policy advice on Israeli compensation claims.
