1948 INTERIM PERIOD ("MINHELET HAAM") POST, POSTAL LINKS and PHILATELY:
The following items - 'Minhelet Ha'am' post - are pre-State Israeli post which existed during the brief period between the British Mandate Postal Administration's closure and the termination of the Mandate itself (April 15 - May 14, 1948). In the gradual absence of mail service by the Mandate, the "Jewish Peoples' Administration" - 'Minhelet Ha'am' - authorized the usage of available labels belonging to the Jewish National Fund. During the period of this interim postage, from May 2nd until 22 May 1948, such labels overprinted with the Hebrew word 'Doar' (Post) were used as postage for mail.
