Covid has made it a difficult year for the A.I.A. as for so many organisations. It has not been possible to hold some of our traditional meetings in the old style. We have had to adapt like others and employ Zoom for our webinars. But this has permitted some important interventions. We have forged a new relationship with the U.K.I.B. (U.K./Israel Business). The A.I.A. has always been interested in trade and business as well as politics but this will greatly strengthen our activity in this area. We believe the new relationship will be more than the sum of its parts and add a new vitality to NJD Charitable Trust our work. As we go to press, we have had one truly remarkable meeting: CHARITY NO. 1109146 For the first time ever the U.K. ambassadors of U.A.E., Bahrain and Israel held a joint meeting in London to celebrate the new relationship between the three states embodied in the Abraham Accords. The meeting was chaired superbly by Lord Daniel Finkelstein. All three ambassadors answered questions Is pleased to be supporting the both from Daniel and an A.I.A. audience as to the meaning of Anglo- Israel Association the new ‘paradigm shift’ in policy which had brought the three countries together. It was a heartening event. In particular, it was clear that this new relationship went beyond a sensible desire to enhance trade and business but also included a new level of mutual respect. Of particular interest was the comments of the three ambassadors on the incoming Biden presidency. Of course not everything has changed. There are still bad actors in the region. Israeli politics still has its intense divisions. The most difficult question of all – Israeli/Palestinian relations – still remains as fraught as ever. But the assumption of sterility – that Israel’s relationship with Arab states could not change for the better – has been destroyed.

  • Revista Canopus
    NÚMERO 29 - ENERO 2021 - AÑO 4 RREEVVIISSTTAA CCAANNOOPPUUSS EDITORIAL OTRO AÑO MÁS. Ya comenzamos el cuarto año calendario publicando los números de “CANOPUS”, nuestra revista digital, que, junto con Agustín realizamos desde junio de 2018. Sólo 4 números fueron publicados ese año, pero desde febrero 2019, Agustín y yo nos hicimos cargo de este producto, y no hemos dejado ningún mes sin publicar desde entonces. Las novedades no descansan y es por ello que nosotros tampoco. Este número particularmente lo hemos hecho en muy poco tiempo ya que estuvimos ocupados en la reapertura del Complejo. A principios de este mes pudimos después de largos meses, abrir otra vez al público. Sabemos que SARS- CoV2 sigue entre nosotros, por lo que necesitamos asegurarnos que se cumplan todos los protocolos necesarios para restringir la circulación comunitaria de este virus. Eso nos llevó a reducir la cantidad de funciones a 2 diarias, e incluso a reducir la capacidad del domo al 50%. Claramente en esta temporada no podremos analizarla para ver si es récord o no, pues el contexto es único. La reapertura del Planetario fue un éxito, debajo están las capturas. Como siempre comento, todos estos meses, el gran generador de contenido ha sido Agustín, aunque por mi parte podríamos decir que estoy de vuelta, en breve. Hay muchas novedades, más de 50 páginas, iniciando con que comenzó el verano a las 7:03 del 21 de diciembre de 2020. ¿Cuál será el panorama espacial en el año que acabamos de comenzar? Hay muchas novedades, desde el esperadísimo lanzamiento del gran James Webb, hasta misiones tripuladas, misiones chinas y hasta al planeta rojo.
