The announcement explains that this measure has been made necessary by the shortage of foreign exchange. Under the transfer agreement, however, persons migrating to Palestine may not take with them cash, their capital being subject to removal in the form of merchandise for which cash may be obtained only after a minimum period of one year in Palestine.
