  • A NEW SURGE in ALIYAH from the PRESIDENT's DESK Dear Friends
    INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN EMBASSY JERUSALEM // MARCH/APRIL 2021 // GLOBAL EDITION WORDFROM JERUSALEM A NEW SURGE IN ALIYAH FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK Dear friends, In Revelation 21:5, God Himself speaks to John the seer. “Behold, I am making all things new!” It is a declaration of newness, change and transformation which will characterise the ‘end of history’ and the arrival of the New Jerusalem. But it also characterises what He is doing in His kingdom today. God appears in many places in His Word as a God who is doing a new thing (Isaiah 42:9; 43:19). God is encouraging us to embrace the new thing He is doing, even while holding fast to the ancient and saving faith of our fathers. It is in this paradox that we are living even today. Coronavirus is forcing us all to think outside of the box and to embrace the many new ways God is leading us into. And as we do this, we will experience His never-changing goodness and holiness – even here in Jerusalem. We saw this take place at this year’s Envision conference. Threatened by cancellation The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was established due to COVID-19, it became our biggest pastors and leaders conference ever. Close to in 1980 in recognition of the biblical significance of Jerusalem 700 participants from 55 nations joined us as we came live from Jerusalem and other and its unique connection to the Jewish people.

  • The Rise and Fall of Israel's Bilateral Aid Budget 1958-2008
    A mere ten years after Israel gained its independence from British mandatory rule in 1948, it launched an official development cooperation program. At a time when Israel was itself still a developing country, it began a training and technical assistance program that expanded within a few short years to include the dispatch of hundreds of Israeli technical assistants to other developing countries and the training of thousands of Africans, Asians and Latin Americans annually. Driven by both political necessity and the moral vision of Israel’s leaders, the program rapidly grew in size and scope. At its height, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, MASHAV, the government body responsible for managing the aid program, was the largest department in Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Israel had, per capita, one of the most extensive technical assistance programs in the western world. Unfortunately, this vision of cooperation, at least as far as Africa was concerned, proved to be short-lived. Within 15 years of the establishment The Rise and of Israel’s official aid program, the "golden age" of Israel's development cooperation came to an abrupt end, as all but four African countries Fall severed relations with Israel in the wake of the October 1973 Arab-Israeli War. Africa’s rejection of Israel dealt a deep blow to Israeli public and of Israel's political support for its aid program, marking a turning point from which Bilateral Aid Israel technical assistance has never recovered. The rupture of relations led to an immediate 50% drop in MASHAV’s operational budget and further Budget substantial budgetary cuts over the past 35 years.

This scale is tied to four qualitative evaluation levels. 10-9 = The government actively and coherently engages in international efforts to promote equal socioeconomic opportunities in developing countries. It frequently demonstrates initiative and responsibility, and acts as an agenda-setter. 8-6 = The government actively engages in international efforts to promote equal socioeconomic opportunities in developing countries. However, some of its measures or policies lack coherence. 5-3 = The government shows limited engagement in international efforts to promote equal socioeconomic opportunities in developing countries. Many of its measures or policies lack coherence. 2-1 = The government does not contribute (and often undermines) efforts to promote equal socioeconomic opportunities in developing countries. Sweden Score 10 Promoting global social justice is an overarching policy goal for Swedish governments regardless of their ideological orientation. Sweden combines bilateral strategies with an active involvement in multilateral efforts toward those objectives. Additionally, public spending for development issues is comparable high. There has been a gradual shift from conventional aid to developing countries, mainly sub- Saharan countries, toward aid directed at countries that are closer to Sweden.
