Premier David Ben Gurion convened a special meeting of the Israel Cabinet tonight to discuss the Anglo-French ultimatum to land troops in the Suez Canal zone.

It was announced that the British and the French had asked of both the Israelis and the Egyptians permission to station troops at Port Said, Port Suez and Ismalia. The Israeli people appeared to welcome this new turn of events.
