Deliberations of the Jewish Agency Executive, Jerusalem 1938
Further close-ups of the meeting show Executive members in discussion while David Ben Gurion presides and Moshe Shertok sits at his side. Such close shots of individual faces were used by the contemporary newsreel March of Time to introduce Western audiences to the Yishuv's leading figures. The Jewish Agency united different Zionist currents under one roof and in 1938 had to build internal consensus while also presenting a united front to the British Mandate authorities. A few months later, in May 1939, London would sharply restrict Jewish immigration with the White Paper.
