The Jewish Agency executive and the presidium of the Zionist General Council today decided to hold the forthcoming session of the Council in New York provided the decision received the support of the American members of the executive and Council. The final decision on the matter will thus await a vote by the American leaders, the results of which will be cabled to Jerusalem.
Moshe Sharett, chairman of the Jewish Agency executive, who returned here this week from a visit to the United States, is understood to have urged the joint meeting of the presidium and the executive to decide on Jerusalem as the site of the next Council meeting. He noted that the American Zionist Council in New York was in the throes of a reorganization.
(At a press conference in New York last week, Dr. Nahum Goldmann, president of the World Zionist Organization, said that any decision adopted by the joint executive-presidium meeting would be implemented. He pointed out, however, that if it was decided to hold the Council meeting in New York, it might be better to postpone it to a later date because of the reorganization of the American Zionist Council.)
