The Israel Government today re-introduced into the Parliament the bill granting a special status in Israel to the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency which was withdrawn last week by Premier David Ben Gurion.
The praesidium of the Parliament was not in a position today to state when the bill will come up for discussion. Meanwhile, the Israeli members of the Zionist Actions Committee, who were to consider action on the bill, today announced that their meeting which was scheduled for Thursday is being postponed until the Knesset adjourns its summer session.
