David Ben Gurion chairs Jewish Agency meeting, Jerusalem 1938
David Ben Gurion sits at the head of the conference table as chairman, with Moshe Shertok, head of the Jewish Agency's Political Department, seated to his right. Ben Gurion, chairman of the Jewish Agency since 1935, was the central leader of the Yishuv, the Jewish community in Palestine, and in 1938 pursued a policy toward the British Mandate authorities balanced between negotiation and building up Jewish strength. Shertok, later known as Moshe Sharett, became Israel's first foreign minister in 1948 and its second prime minister in 1954. The meeting falls in a period when the Executive was debating its response to the Peel partition plan and the escalating violence of the Arab Revolt.
