Leon Dulzin, Jewish Agency treasurer, announced that efforts would be made at the World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem next month to form an all-party wall-to-wall coalition in the World Zionist Organization.
Dulzin, who is virtually certain to be elected chairman of the Jewish Agency and WZO Executives, told a meeting of the Liberal Party Central Committee last Thursday night that he has discussed that matter with the leaders of all Zionist factions, including Labor and they have agreed to begin negotiations immediately after publication of the Congress’ election results.
Labor is expected to demand the key post of treasurer since it has agreed not to nominate a candidate to appose Dulzin. But Dulzin would not discuss those reports. He said only that when negotiations begin “we shall speak of everything, including the post of treasurer.”
He promised to change the way portfolios are allocated to WZO Executive members. He said he would not grant portfolios to parties that decide in advance who will receive them. Instead, Dulzin said, he would ask each party to submit its list of candidates and he would assign the portfolios on the basis of each one’s qualifications.
