The Zionist Federation of Britain today called upon the British Government, as a signatory to the tripartite declaration of May, 1950, to “take urgent action, together with its allies to put a stop” to Arab aggressions against Israel. It asked the government to bring home to Jordan the “urgent necessity for taking practical measures to put a stop to illegal incursions into Israel” and to attend the high level meeting with Israel demanded by the latter under Article XII of the armistice agreement.
In a resolution adopted at the closing session of the 53rd annual conference of the organization, the British Zionists called on their government “in view of the gravity of the situation in the Middle East” to refrain from shipping arms to the Arab states unless and until they abate their hostility towards Israel and signify their willingness to make peace with Israel and settle all their differences with the Jewish State by direct negotiations.
