A joint statement issued today by the Zionist Executive, the Vaad Leumi, National Council of Palestine Jews, and the Chief Rabbinate, warns the population of Palestine, excited over the recent developments at the Wailing Wall, against separate action in the matter.
These three bodies have frequently interviewed the government with regard to the Wailing Wall and as the government has refused to change their attitude they have communicated with the Zionist Executive in London, the Zionist Congress, now in session in Zurich, and other Jewish authorities abroad, the statement declares. The Palestine population must have confidence that they will continue to do everything necessary and therefore any separate action taken by individual groups should be only with the consent of the three bodies.
