Israelis Promote Internal Aliya
Non-Dependent
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The younger generation of
Israeli politicians is promot-
ing internal immigration
from the center of the coun-
try to outlying development
towns in the hope that this

Kiryat Gat of the younger
members of the various
political parties, sponsored
by the Zionist Council.
Yerah Glatter, mayor of
Yeroham, said at the meet-

rael overly dependent on
outside aid.

image. He urged Jewish and
Zionist organizations to cor-
rect this.
Zeev Baum, acting mayor
of Kiryat Gat said there are
some 140 immigrant
families in the local absorp-
tion center.
