The National Executive Committee of the British Labor Party today adopted a resolution on Israel submitted by the Poale Zion Party of Britain calling on the British Government to intervene with Jordan to achieve better understanding between Israel and the Arab state.

The resolution welcomes the stand of the Parliamentary Labor Party opposing the supply of jet aircraft to the Middle East states until a peace settlement is achieved between Israel and the Arab states; declares the arms race in the Middle East a danger to peace and economic development in the region and deplores the incidents along Israel’s borders. It also expresses “deep satisfaction” with the progress of Israel–“the stronghold of Social Democracy in the Middle East.”
