PRIME MINISTER DAVID BEN-GURION (ISRAEL) - AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED 11/09/1954 CO-SIGNED BY: PRIME MINISTER MOSHE SHARETT (ISRAEL) - HFSID 72622 DAVID BEN-GURION Israel's first Prime Minister writes letter discussing conversations with fellow politicians Autograph Letter Signed: "D. Ben-Gurion" in Hebrew in blue ink. 1 page, 4¾x8¼. Tiberias (Israel), 1954 November 9. On ruled sheet of thin paper to Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett. In Hebrew, translated. In full: "Peace be with you. I read with great satisfaction your verbal conversation with [illegible]. But [illegible] and [illegible] talk great concern. The implication of the London Committee of 1938-9 stands still without change [illegible]. That is how Malcolm and Halifax talked. They, without a doubt, mirror [illegible]'s stand. And this is worse than Dulles's stand and without a doubt influences the stand of [illegible]. And again, I do not see any other conclusion other than [illegible]. But, it's known and understood by all, and therefore, there is almost no [illegible]." Also initialled: "MS" by Sharett in Hebrew in red pencil at upper left. The London Committees had first met as the Evian Conference on Jewish Refugees in France in July 1938, with the meetings being moved to London later that year. The Committees sought to involve a number of nations in solving the Jewish refugee problem by attempting to settle refugees in countries where there were adequate resources and economic opportunities. In 1954, Israel and its Arab neighbors were facing a water crisis and the country was developing strategies to divert water to provide for its growing population.

Sharett was Israel's first Foreign Minister from May 17, 1948 to June 19, 1956, when he was succeeded by Golda Meir.
