      Britain To Hold First-Ever Hearing on Jewish Refugees


      The British Parliament next Tuesday is to hold its first-ever hearing on the subject of Jewish refugees from Arab countries. The Justice for Jews from Arab Countries and the Board of Deputies of British Jews have organized the hearing, to take place in offices of the House of Lords.

      The briefing will assess the most appropriate role that Britain should play in seeking to resolve issues affecting all Middle East refugees. Two former Jewish refugees will testify on their flight from Iraq and Egypt and their resettlement in Britain.
