Yakov Tsur, president of the Jewish National Fund, who returned last week from a mission in Latin America on behalf of the Israel Government, paid tribute today to the “steadfast loyalty and friendship” which Latin America has shown to Israel in its struggle for life and independence.
Mr. Tsur, who addressed a luncheon he gave in honor of the ambassadors of the seven Latin American countries he visited on his mission, stressed that “a common link of love for freedom and independence has created an unshakable bond between Latin America and Israel.”
