The Mizrachi and Hapoel Hamizrachi world movements were merged last night in the final decision of the joint world conference of the two religious Zionist movements.
The 200-odd delegates voted to amalgamate all sections of the movements and re-elected all members of the central committees of each movement to a new amalgamated central committee. In addition, a six-man committee was named to work out the technical aspects of the merger and to make preparations for the next conference of the merged group in two years. At that parley members to the new central committee will be elected on a personal basis, rather than as representatives of the Mizrachi or Hapoel Hamizrachi movements.
A demand that the Israel Government and the Jewish Agency arrange the immediate immigration of 5,000 North African Jews whose lives are in danger was voiced here today by some of the delegates attending the joint conference of the Mizrachi and Hapoel Hamizrachi movements.
