The crux of the Palestine situation is the rivalry between Britain and the Soviet Union in the Middle East, Don Pines, co-editor of the Palestinian Daily Davar, who is here on a special mission for the Histadruth, said yesterday at a press conference.
He charged that Britain was encouraging Bedouin tribes to attack Palestine or some other Middle East country, so that it would have an excuse for stationing large troop concentrations in that area. Relations between Jews and Arabs in Palestine, he declared, are better than ever, despite British provocations.
