The Jewish members of the Jerusalem municipality today resumed their seats in the municipal council, which they left two weeks ago in protest against an anti-Jewish speech delivered by the mayor of Jerusalem, Mustafa they Khalidi, at conference of Arab mayors in Palestine at which resolutions against Jewish immigration were adopted.
