Moshe Shertok next to Ben Gurion, Jerusalem 1938
The Jewish Agency's conference table is covered with files and notes as David Ben Gurion and, to his right, Moshe Shertok listen to other Executive members speak. The body met regularly in Jerusalem in 1938 and effectively functioned as the Yishuv's government, though without formal sovereignty. Topics of the period included the defense of Jewish settlements during the Arab Revolt and the stance toward the British partition proposal. Shertok, as head of the Political Department, managed diplomatic contacts with London.
