The necessity to strengthen the World Zionist Organization was urged today by Rabbi J. L. Fishman, representative of the Mizrachi, religious Zionist group, at a session of the Zionist General Council.
Rabbi Fishman said that one of the important obstacles to a stronger body was the religious situation in Palestine, marked by failure of some groups to observe the Sabbath and Jewish dietary laws.
The council’s political committee, it was understood, has unanimously adopted a resolution against partition of Palestine, which the Royal Commission is reported to be considering among its recommendations.
