TEL AVIV: The military situation has stiffened official attitude in Tel Aviv where it is now held that it will be possible to get the entire area, as provided in the original United Nations partition plan, for the so-called “Israel”. This will mean a new task for Mr Moshe Shertok, the so-called “Israeli” Foreign Minister and doubtless will make more difficult efforts to achieve any programme for Palestine which can obtain majority approval at the United Nations.

There was no issue of the paper on Oct 23, 1948, on account of the Quaid’s Chehlum. The excerpt below is taken from the previous day’s edition

Mr … Shertok has been instructed to ask for Negeb. But it is believed that he would have accepted partition along the 31st parallel. According to reports reaching Tel Aviv, many United Nations delegations in Paris, including the Americans, reached the conclusion that the partition plan should form a basis for peaceful resolution. It actually represented an advance for the so-called “Israel” over the Bernadotte report which left the whole of Negeb to the Arabs.
