Chaim Weizmann leaves Sieff Institute with officers, Rehovot 1938
Chaim Weizmann steps out of the institute's entrance accompanied by British military officers in khaki uniform, among them Brigadier Harrison, commander of the Sarafand army base, and General Robert Haining, commander-in-chief of British troops in Palestine. The visit falls during the Arab revolt of 1936 to 1939, when the British military maintained a massive presence in the country and Jewish institutions such as the institute stood under particular protection. Weizmann cultivated close contacts with the Mandate administration to secure the political standing of Zionist development work in Palestine.
