Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion of Israel told a delegation of all Zionist organizations here today that Israel expected three actions from non-Israeli Jewries.
He said these were provision of Jewish education to all Jewish children “so that the Jewish people will be united by a common culture”; establishing personal ties with Israel by sending children to Israel to visit and study there, and “the hardest,” personal settlement in Israel so that the youth from other Jewish communities would participate “in the upbuilding of the Jewish State.”
The Prime Minister attended a State dinner last night given in his honor by Premier Gaston Eyskens and attended by leaders of the Belgian Senate and Parliament and various Cabinet Ministers.
Premier Eyskens said at the dinner that it was his pleasure to note “the friendly relations between our two countries and our two peoples who both want to work for peace in a fruitful way.” He added that the relationships were developing “harmoniously, especially in the economic field where some recent initiatives give the hope that new progress will be achieved.” The Premier added he was certain that “useful cooperation between Israel and the young State of the Congo will be established and that the Congo will find in Israel things to follow as examples, mainly in the field of rural economy and the organization of cooperatives.”
