"Readers Letters: Allegiance Premature, a Paper Clipping, The Jerusalem Post

Printed in English, this document features a paper clipping taken of The Jerusalem Post newspaper-previously known as  "the Palestine Post".   The clipping incloses a response from Elyas Kusa following a news bulletin that was recently published in the newspaper regarding an Arab delegation's letter to Mr.B.Shitreet serving as a Minister of the Israeli Minorities, the letter reflects the allegiance of the Arab towards the Jewish State. Kusa, in his article, confirms that one of the people who were mong this delegation was George Muʿa-mar and someone notable from al-Khayyat family who had met with the minister and discussed several issues such as the consistent Israeli theft of the Arab possessions and dominance over the houses of Arabs, in addition to the Jewish occupation over the Absentee Property, as well as Arabs being detained by the Jewish Security bodies, and other issues concerning guarantees to re-claim the property back.  Kusa confirms that within the absence of such guarantees the question of allegiance shall remain open.
