Speakers at an extraordinary meeting of the Jewish National Assembly declared that the Jews were losing confidence in the Government as a result of insufficient measures taken in dealing with disturbances.

The speakers represented the views of widely divergent Zionist groups, including the laborite Histadruth, the right-wing Revisionists, the orthodox Mizrachi and the moderately right-wing Jewish State Party.
