The 1,200 members of the RA, attending their 86th annual convention, said they will seek aid from the U.S. and Israeli governments and other countries to develop a new "Operation Moses and Sheba" to bring Jews out bf Ethiopia. They urged the 850 Conservative congregations with 1.5 million members in the U.S. and Canada to participate in the project.

It reflected not only the demands of protocol but a feeling on both sides that, all-in-all, the visit was successful and that Thatcher and Premier Shimon Peres had achieved a personal rapport. Paradoxically, Thatcher, known as the "Iron Lady" for her uncompromising conservative positions in international affairs, elicited a more positive response from Israeli doves than from its hawks in her comments on regional political matters. . When she said that most of her Israeli interlocutors had agreed with her that the continued military occupation of Arab populated territories was not in Israel's own interests, she mentioned Peres, Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Abba Eban, the former Foreign Minister who chairs the Knesset's powerful Foreign Affairs and Security Committee.
