Pinhas Sapir chairman of the World Zionist Organization and Jewish Agency Executives, called on world Jewry to stand united behind Israel and mobilize a world-wide information campaign to explain Israel’s position with regard to the failure of Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger’s latest Middle East peace efforts.
In a statement to the WZO Executive here, Sapir said Israel was entering a period of trial. Its efforts to achieve a settlement with its neighbors have been unsuccessful. In this hour of trial, the Jewish people of the world must be united and unlimited in their support for Israel, Sapir said. He observed that Israel’s real strength depended on continuous growth and in that connection urged all Jewish and Zionist organizations to promote immigration to Israel, to build the State “together with us.”
