A special Latin American Assembly in Solidarity with Israel ended here Thursday with an appeal to all governments and peoples in Latin America as well as elsewhere “to act positively” in order to obtain peace and justice for all peoples in the Middle East. The assembly, called by the Latin American Jewish Congress, expressed its identification with “heroic Israel” to which it feels united as part of the same people in Israel’s fight for a just peace within secure and recognized borders. The assembly strongly condemned the Arab attack on Israel on Judaism’s holiest day and attacked the Soviet Union for arming and training the attackers and inciting other Arab countries to join in the fight.
