Prime Minister Harold Wilson assured a group of Anglo-Jewish leaders yesterday that Israel’s security was one of the points on which Britain will never compromise in its search for a solution of the Middle East crisis. Mr. Wilson received Alderman Michael Fidler. president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, and six members of its executive committee at No. 10 Downing St. The meeting was arranged at the request of the Board of Deputies. Participants in the meeting said afterwards that there appeared to be no shift from Britain’s position against the sale of arms to Israel and in support of the Four Power Mideast talks.
