The Zionist Century - Concepts - Zionist Congresses

 

Twenty-Fourth Congress
Jerusalem, 1956

The Congress met in an atmosphere of growing anxiety over the political and security situation on Israel's southern border.

  • Congress discussed a variety of other issues including aliya, settlement, fundraising and organization.
  • A proposal was placed before delegates to eliminate party divisions within the movement and instead have united delegations from each Diaspora community -- but this was rejected.

The new President of the Zionist Organization and Chairperson of the Jewish Agency was Nahum Goldmann.
