In a resolution adopted at its meeting in Cairo last night, the Arab League Council has warned the governments of Rumania and Poland that their relations with Arab countries will be “harmed” unless they halt “renewed Jewish emigration to Israel.”
Cairo dispatches received here today further report that the Council, which was summoned a week ago by League Secretary General Abdel Khalek Hassouna, told the three Communist governments in Eastern Europe that the new wave of Jewish immigration into Israel “threatens the peace and security of the Middle East.”
Hassouna was instructed by the Council to arrange a “summit” meeting of all Arab governments to formulate new plans for a “unified Arab policy to return Israel to Arab control.” Last week, when the Council convened, Hassouna complained bitterly because none of the Arab governments had sent to his “emergency Israeli immigration” session any of their Prime Ministers or even any of their Foreign Ministers as had been demanded.
