The premier moved his mini- strv to the Jewish-occiioled sec- tion of Jerusalem. It was the last of seven government departments to betransferred from Tel Aviv in a tactic in which Ben-Gurion so far has avoided outright proc lamation of the Holy City as Is- raelrs political capital. Only the ministers of foreign affars and defense remained In Tel Aviv, to avoid any issue if some foreign ambassadqrs should refuse to move to Jerusalem. Accepting the freedom of the citv from Jerusalem's mayor Dan iel Auster, Ben-Gurjon said his nation had "entered upon the greatest political struggle in the history ot our people.
