The Polish Government recently gave Dr. Leon Kubovi, Israeli Minister in Warsaw, assurances that Polish Jews with families in Israel will be permitted to immigrate to the Jewish State, the Jewish Chronicle reported here this week-end.
The Chronicle report said that Polish President Boleslaw Beirut is taking a personal interest in the problem and is anxious to see it solved in a “humane manner.” It reports that conditions attached to the Polish Government’s proposal provide that each application for an Israeli visa will be considered individually and that there will be no collective transports of emigrants as there were previously.
There has been no slackening in the rush to obtain Israeli visa despite the reported arrest of Jews coming to the Israel legation in Warsaw, the Chronicle dispatch said. This situation has caused “much disappointment” to the Jewish Communists in Poland, the Chronicle said, adding that they bitterly resent pro-Zionist sentiment and the “evident failure of their vitriolic anti-Israel campaign.”
