A resolution demanding that the British Government “resolve the uncertainty which presently shrouds British Middle East policy by a clear declaration of support of Israel’s integrity within her existing borders, ” was adopted here today at the close of the two-day annual conference of the Zionist Federation of Britain-Twelve hundred delegates participated.
The resolution also called for direct peace negotiations between Israel and the Arab states without prior conditions. It welcomed the Israel policy of re-uniting Arab families divided when some members fled during the war of 1948, and noted that this had meant the admission of 30, 000 Arabs to Israel.
