The Egyptian Government today notified the Government of the United States that Egypt will not recognize Palestine as a Jewish states.
The notification was made in a note submitted by Premier Nahas Pasha of Egypt to the American Minister Alexander Kirk. The note protests against the Palestine Resolution now before Congress, which urges free immigration of Jews to Palestine and the ultimate establishment of Palestine as a Jewish Commonwealth.
Emphasizing that the Egyptian Government views this resolution with disfavor, the note expresses the hop that the speeches delivered by members of Congress in fever of the resolution do not represent official American opinion. It points out that Egypt is definitely opposed to a Jewish Palestine.
