Egyptian Statements

to The Jewish News)
MONTEVIDEO — A move by
an Egyptian delegation currently
visiting here and other Latin
American countries to push anti-
Israel propaganda has ended in
total fiasco.
A majority of the daily news-
papers published statements
made by the Egyptians in press
conferences, critically or ironic-
ally ridiculing the charges.
: Given particular attention by
the press was one sentence that
"many Arab nations wish Is-
rael's destruction and do not
want to consider the possibility
of peace with • Israel."
The papers also published
widely a statement by the Cen-
tral Israelite Committee of Uru-
guay, calling the attention of
public opinion to the destructive
statements of the Egyptian dele-
gation.

55,000 Enter
Israel in 1956
Jerusalem (JTA) ---A total of
55,000 immigrants came into
Israel in 1956, marking a 53
percent increase as compared
with 1955, and representing the
heaviest influx of immigrants in
any single year since 1951.
These figures made public
here by the Jewish Agency
which announced that 55,000
more immigrants are expected
during the first nine months of
1957.
A fund of 1,000,000 Israeli
pounds ($550,000) has been set
up by the Agency and the Is-
rael Federation of Labor to help
support and absorb into the
country's economy the immi-
grants arriving from Egypt as
a result of the expulsion of Jews
from that country. More than
500 Jews have arrived from
Egypt so far, many of them are
craftsmen and professionals.
Among the Egyptian Jews are
a number of Karaites, the Jew-
ish sect dating back to the Baby-
lonian exile. The rabbinate here
has received assurances that the
Karaites will be given special
protection toward retaining
their own identity. The Kara-
ites, since Babylonian times, re-
ject all Talmudic interpretations
of the Bible, and oppose what
they call "repressive rabbinic
law."
