Premier Yitzhak Rabin has invited the World Conference of Jewish Organizations (COJO) to hold its next meeting in Israel, it was reported today by Mrs. Charlotte Jacobson, chairman of the world Jewish body. She said the invitation was extended through Yehuda Avner, advisor on diaspora affairs to Rabin, who addressed a North American meeting of COJO earlier this week. The invitation has been accepted and COJO will hold its plenary meeting in Jerusalem some time in July, Mrs. Jacobson said.
In another action, the COJO delegates voted to authorize Mrs. Jacobson to consult with the heads of international Jewish organizations to coordinate a Jewish response to Arab boycott pressures around the world. The COJO meeting, held in New York, was attended by top leaders of American and Canadian Jewry. Arab propaganda and Arab boycott activities were the chief items on the agenda of the one-day meeting.
