The Statement of Information Relating to Acts of Violence was a White Paper published by the British Government on 24 July 1946.[1] It was published as a request of the Prime Minister following the British Operation Agatha on 29 June 1946.[2] Although it was published two days after the King David hotel bombing, it had been prepared prior to that event.[1]
The paper set out details of the Jewish insurgency in Mandatory Palestine, including evidence that the Jewish Agency had been complicit with the terrorist groups.[3] A telegram had been intercepted, including codenames, one of which "Hayyim" was understood to be Chaim Weizmann.[4]
