The South African Government was urged to use its influence with the Western Powers to guarantee Israel against Arab attacks, in a resolution adopted here last night at a crowded mass meeting of Johannesburg Jewry.

The resolution also asked the South African Government to use its influence to provide defensive arms for Israel and to end Egypt’s blockade of Israel. Another resolution expressed the solidarity of South African Jewry with Israel and pledged support to the Jewish State. Principal speakers at the rally were Chief Rabbi J. Rabinowitz and Israel Dunsky, chairman of the Zionist Federation.
