The Horev Commission’s report recommending a drastic reorganization of Israel’s immigration and absorption machinery was approved by a majority of the World Zionist Organization Executive at a meeting here last week. Yosef Almogi, chairman of the WZO and Jewish Agency Executives, said he would ask Premier Yitzhak Rabin to convene a meeting of the coordinating committee of the government and Jewish Agency to discuss implementation of the proposals. Before then, however, the report will be discussed by the larger Executive bodies of the WZO and Jewish Agency, including the Jewish Agency Board of Governors which will meet in London later this month.
