Improved Israeli-Soviet relations led to increased ties with
East European states as well. Israel and Poland reestablished
diplomatic relations in September 1986. Trade and tourism between
Israel and Hungary also improved in 1986. On August 6, 1986, a
senior Romanian envoy visited Jerusalem and met with Prime Minister
Peres to discuss relations with the Soviet Union. At the time,
there was speculation that the Romanian president, Nicolae
Ceauçescu, had helped arrange behind-the-scenes contacts between
the Soviet Union and Israel. On August 30, 1986, talks followed
between Yehuda Horam, head of the East European Division of the
Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Romanian officials. Also
in August, Mrs. Shulamit Shamir, the wife of then-Minister of
Foreign Affairs Yitzhak Shamir, received an invitation to visit
Bulgaria, the first such official Bulgarian gesture toward Israel.
In January 1987, an Israeli delegation held negotiations with
Polish, Bulgarian, and Hungarian representatives concerning
agricultural cooperation.
