The Zionist Organization of America made public today the text of a resolution adopted by its national executive committee expressing “dissatisfaction with the state of affairs prevailing in the World Confederation of General Zionists” and warning that it may quit the Confederation.
“The present composition of the Confederation’s governing bodies, its procedures and the built-in deadlock in General Zionist affairs preventing effective functioning, call imperatively for far-reaching changes,” the resolution says. “We, therefore, authorize the ZOA delegation to the conference of the World Confederation in Jerusalem to bend every effort to remedy these conditions and, if such efforts prove to be unsuccessful, to take whatever action is necessary, including taking of a decision in behalf of the ZOA to discontinue our affiliation and further ZOA participation in the World Confederation of General Zionists.”
