In view of the commitments of the American Zionist leadership in emergency fund-raising for Israel, a meeting of the Zionist Actions Committee scheduled for the end of February was today postponed until mid-May.
A Jewish Agency plenary session, slated to precede the Actions Committee, may be held in New York instead of Jerusalem, an Agency spokesman said today. It is impossible to postpone this session, he noted, because the Agency budget must be acted upon. Since the American members are busy, he added, it was proposed that several Jerusalem executive members come to New York for a meeting. A final decision on this matter will be taken early in February, after Agency president Dr. Nahum Goldmann arrives here.
The Agency is organizing four groups of Israeli leaders, including four members of the Cabinet and a number of Parliamentary deputies, who will tour the United states, each spending several days in a different United States community aiding in fund-raising efforts. The spokesman also revealed that a meeting of the Keren Hayesod leaders of 18 European countries would be held in Amsterdam February 23 and 24, and a South American regional United Jewish Appeal conference would be held on that continent in March.
