Egyptians Caught In Coastal Trap Over Jerusalem Truce
The truce proposal to Bernadotte faces a deadline with no clear Jewish reply. Bernadotte left Haifa, uncertain of starting time or terms. A Jerusalem source says the plan freezes the military situation and allows immigration and aid to Jerusalem Jews, while Arab leaders demand no immigration and continuing siege. Local rabbi Herzog vows Jews will not abandon Jerusalem amid renewed shelling. Fawzi Mulki of Transjordan criticizes any advantage during the truce. The Rockefeller Foundation has spent over 400 million since its 1930s inception.
