These discussions led to a bitter controversy in Israel, as the coalition government, headed by David Ben-Gurion, claimed that reparations were necessary to restore what was stolen from the victims of the Holocaust.
Tato jednání vedla v Izraeli k hořké kontroverzi, když koaliční vláda v čele s Davidem Ben Gurionem uvedla, že reparace jsou nezbytné k obnově toho, co bylo odcizeno obětem holocaustu.
