Former Magistrate Bernard A. Rosenblatt of New York is preparing to appeal to the International Court of Justice against Palestine and purchase laws which bar him from obtaining deed to land in areas of Palestine which are restricted to Jews, he disclosed here.

Rosenblatt is preparing to submit a petition to the State Department asking it to take the matter before the court, as a member of the United Nations. The State Department has indicated that it will not comment on the case until it receives the document. Earlier, Rosenblatt carried the case to the Palestine Supreme Court, which ruled against him, and now has an appeal pending with the Privy Council, highest appellate court in the British Empire.
