The Palestine government today issued permits to the Laborite sport organization, Hapoel, to hold a public gathering in Tel Aviv on Friday. A similar permit was issued to the sport organization of the B’rith Trumpeldor, Revisionist Zionist youth group, to hold public gatherings on Friday and Saturday in Tel Aviv.
The permits were granted only on condition that no demonstrations precede or follow the meetings, also that there be no singing and no carrying of banners.
All other public meetings are still prohibited.
Recently the government announced a ban on all public meetings in Tel Aviv in connection with a proposed conference of the Revisionists, gathering to form their own labor unions. It was explained that the prohibition was due to the constant clashes between the Revisionists and the Laborites in the streets of Palestinian cities and because of the opening of the Levant Fair and the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the city of Tel Aviv.
At the same time the municipal council of Tel Aviv issued an appeal to the Zionist factions to halt the fighting in the interests of Jewish unity.
