Leading General Zionists from the United States, Latin America, Europe and Australia who favor close cooperation with the General Zionist Party in Israel, began arriving in Israel today to participate in the forthcoming conference which is scheduled to proclaim a new General Zionist confederation to be named “The World Union of General Zionists. ” Formal proclamation of the new group will establish legally what has existed in fact for years–a split among General Zionist parties throughout the world.
The conference, slated to open March 15, will be addressed by Dr. Emanuel Neumann, president of the Zionist Organization of America, who has been proposed for the first president of the new union. Other speakers will include L. Dulzin, Mexican Zionist leader and Jewish Agency executive member, and Israeli General Zionist leader Joseph Saphir. Among the members of the ZOA delegation is Jacques Torczyner.
