A split which had lasted for more than a year was ended here last night when the world conference of General Zionists, which closed its sessions, succeeded in uniting all factions in the party. The three contending units within the organization, Groups A and B and the Et Libnoth groups, were dissolved and united into one organization to be known as the Weltverband Allgemeiner Zionisten.
The concluding session, which lasted for twenty-one hours, unanimously adopted an ideological program obligating members to full discipline and proclaiming the full independence of the General Zionists from left and right groups within the World Zionist Organization.
The conference issued an appeal to the World Zionist Executive asking for the convocation of an interfactional conference to bring peace within the Zionist movement and end the disastrous party strife.
