Representatives of all Jewish groups in Jerusalem have decided to take legal steps to separate the Jewish community in Jerusalem from the rest of the population and obtain autonomy for it as is now the case in Tel Aviv, an all-Jewish city. To carry out this purpose there has been organized an association called Hatoshav which has for its chief aim the safeguarding of Jewish interests in Jerusalem.
Since the Jewish members of the Jerusalem municipal council resigned last March Jewish interests in the council have been at a disadvantage and this present movement dates from then. The Jewish members resigned because, as he said, in the three years since their election they had striven to no avail to improve municipal affairs and to protect infringed Jewish rights, owing to the opposition of the Arab majority.
