Summary
“Declaration of Jewish Independence” read the April 12, 1948 headline on the front page of the Tel Aviv daily Davar. Ha’aretz said something similar: “The Zionist Actions Committee declares Jewish Independence.” Beneath the Davar article ran the full text of a document announcing the creation of “the highest authority of our political independence.”1
