Zvi Lurie, member of the American section of the Jewish Agency Executive, today announced that he was not among the members of the Agency who sent a cable from New York to Jerusalem asking that the Jewish Agency Executive there issue an appeal to all parties to end the Cabinet crisis immediately.
Declaring that he did not sign the cable, Mr. Luris said in his statement: “The main reason for it is my sincere belief that the magnificent support of American Jewry towards Israel cannot depend upon confidence or lack of confidence in the resigning government and, I hope, will increase in the future regardless of the internal problem of new democratic elections.” Mr. Lurie emphasized in his statement that “the appeal was not directed to all parties.”
