The Arab states will strongly oppose the recommendation for the immediate admission of 100,000 Jews to Palestine, contained in the report of the Anglo-American inquiry committee, Abdul Rahman Azzam Bey, secretary-general of the Arab League, said today.

Declaring that the Arab League had never recognized the authority of the inquiry committee, Azzam Bey asserted that the report would increase feeling against the Jews in the Arab states, making their position more insecure.
