Jewish Agency chairman Leon Dulzin declared tonight that the Agency was taking energetic action regarding the aliya of Jews from strife-torn Iran–but he could not publicly elaborate on the details for obvious reasons. Dulzin responded in this way to charges of inefficiency levelled against the Agency by Knesseter Moshe Katzav who recently returned from a visit to Iran.
Katzav said today he “feared it is no late” for the Jews of Iran to make aliya. He returned from Iran 10 days ago and spoke of the widespread and growing anti-Semitism he had witnessed in many cities there.
