12 representatives of the Holy Land;
6 representatives of the ZOA;

Mr. Jacob Jerassi
- against -
Mr. Victor Melamed
Mr. Simon Sameach
The decision relates to the issues: Which of the 2 respondents was authorized to hold election procedures in Bulgaria; and were there any flaws in the election procedures conducted by each of the two aforementioned respondents separately. The verdict indicates the respondent with the authority, but gives a notice of nullity regarding the election procedure.
The election procedure for the Zionist Congress consists of different stages, a defined schedule, rules and processes as defined in the WZO Constitution and regulations. According to the Constitution, the Zionist Supreme Court checks the accuracy of the procedure in each of the different election areas in the world, and may approve, reject or change the results.
According to the current ruling, three electoral regions were not allowed to send delegates to the Congress: Greece, Guatemala and Sweden. The representatives of other electoral regions were approved.
In this comprehensive ruling, the court expresses its opinion on the election processes in general, points out the weaknesses of some of its stages, the possible deficiencies, and suggests improvements that can optimize one of the important elements of the foundations of the World Zionist Organization: the elections to the Zionist Congress .
