Recognition Of New Jewish State Stir US Israel Policy
White House spokesman Charles G. Ross said President Truman’s recognition of the provisional Israeli government is a de facto step, not a new Palestine policy. He noted ongoing consultations with Marshall and Lovett, and that Britain would delay formal recognition until Israel’s administrative control is solid. The move aims to push toward a truce in the Holy Land while keeping prior partition positions.
