WJCongress and WZO expected to merge within the year

JERUSALEM (JPS) -- World Jewish Congress president Edgar Bronfman was expected to announce its merger with the World Zionist Org
The merger could come within the year, at the time of the WZO centennial.

Bronfman has suggested that many Jewish organizations are redundant, and that scarce funds are being squandered to support superfluous agencies.

The merger was seen as Bronfman following his own advice.

The WZO is affiliated with the Jewish Agency. Although the two are essentially indistinguishable, it is not clear how the Jewish Agency would be affected.
