Israel did not enough money to pay its own citizen. I have heard the Israelis were living in tents and had one spoon one fork and one plate each. USSR loved this system and claimed Israel is a through communist country back in 1950. In mid 1955s or so, Israel shift to USA. In addition, Maki was in Tehran saying the comments. So the Iran Radio would boeadcast it then. I do not think Iran Embassy would report maki's comment from Cicro.
