The Court of Appeals today upheld a decision of the lower courts denying a group of Bedouins grazing rights on land owned by the Jewish National Fund in Zanamia and Aalal in northern Palestine. Attorneys for the Bedouins contended that while the land belonged to the Jewish National Fund, grazing rights had not been surrendered.

In recent months Arab groups in various sections of Palestine have laid claim to land owned by Jews, in some cases for more than thirty years. In some instances the Arabs even took violent possession of the disputed land. In practically every case the courts have upheld the Jewish land owners.
