Gen. Weizmann Asserts There Must Be No Territorial Concessions to Arabs

There must be no territorial concessions whatever to the Arabs, Gen. Ezer Weizmann, Israel’s Minister of Transport, declared at a United Jewish Appeal fund-raising dinner here last night. Gen. Weizmann, former commander of the Israel Air force, was named to the Cabinet by the Herut faction. He is not a member of the Knesset. He told his audience, “We must be suffering from some psychosis to think that we have to give back territory.” He maintained that “Once the ancestral Israel is in our hands, any talks with the Arabs must be centered on Israel’s rights with no territorial concessions.” Gen. Weizmann, a nephew of the late Dr. Chaim Weizmann, Israel’s first President, did not specify what he meant by “ancestral Israel.”
