Israeli Firefighters Mission in Ethiopia April – June 2019 Millennia-old Friendship, Also in Times of Need: Israeli Firefighters Mission in Ethiopia following a request for assistance made by Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed during a phone conversation with his Israeli counterpart Netanyahu, Israel has sent a special mission of firefighters to help extinguishing the wildfires that raged in Ethiopia’s Simien Mountains. The Simian National Park inscribed on the UNESCO world heritage list is one of the country’s main touristic attrac- tions and has faced blazes on and off over two weeks. The national park is a home to several rare animal species including the Waliya ibex and Gelada baboon.

Israeli Medical Mission in Gondar Deputy Ambassador Mr. Or Daniely visited University Hospital of Gon- dar, with the Israeli medical mission, led by Dr. Gil Levy. This is the 3rd work visit of the medical team col- laborating with local doctors on neo-natal mortality. This joint pro- gram is another example of experi- ence and knowledge sharing be- tween Israel and Ethiopia. Israeli scientists, universities and companies are working to benefit the global health system - from physician to patient to medical administrators and insurers. There is virtually no area of medicine to which Israeli devices have not made significant contributions - cardiology, genetics, neurology and ophthalmology are but a few of the sciences benefiting from advanced Israeli technology. Page 6 Progress on the Identification Process of ET302 Flight Victims An official delegation from the Israeli Prime Minister's Of- fice visited Ethiopia and met with Minister of Transport Dagmawit Moges and Feder- al Police Commissioner En- dashaw Tassew, to discuss the progress on the identifi- cation process of ET302 flight victims. Shimon Reem and Avraham Matzliah were the two Israeli victims in the crash of Ethiopi- an Airlines B-737-800MAX air- craft which was on regular scheduled flight from Addis Ababa to Nairobi, Kenya. The plane crash claimed the life of all 157 passengers on board and crashed around Bishoftu, 47km away from the capital Addis Ababa on March 10, 2019. The Embassy of the State of Israel and its staff grief the loss of Shimon and Avraham and extend our heartfelt condo- lences to their families. Page 7 Sharing Views with the Next Generation of the Horn’s Officials: Open Discussion with the Ethiopian Civil Service University Deputy Ambassador, Mr. Or Daniely held an open discussion on Israel, the Middle East and the Horn of Africa with dedicated civil servants from several East African countries at the Ethiopian Civil Service University in Addis Ababa. The Ethiopian Civil Ser- vice University started operation in 1995 but was formally established in February, 1996 . The University has been able to make tremendous contribution in capacity building through the pro- vision of short-term cours- es and specialized un- dergraduate and post- graduate programs. Page 8 Film Screening: “Who Will Write Our History” The film narrates the story of a clan- destine group of Jewish journalists, scholars, and community leaders in the Warsaw Ghetto, vowed to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda not with guns or fists but with pen and paper. Their story is told in the documentary featuring the voices of three-time Academy Award nominee Joan Allen and Academy Award winner Adrian Brody. In his opening remarks, H.E. Ambassa- dor Raphael Morav commented that “Remembrance through drawing, personal memoirs and documentary writing played an important role in the Jews' battle to maintain their human dignity, even on the verge of death. “Who Will Write Our History” is about such a battle. It was a battle for memory, a war against forgetfulness and deception”.

Ambassador Raphael Morav Visited the Cardiac Centre of Ethiopia The Ambassador of the State of Israel H.E. Mr. Raphael Morav visited the Cardiac Centre of Ethiopia with its di- rector Dr. Helen Befekadu and CoB Salahadin Khalifa. The Centre cooper- ates with Save A Child's Heart that conducted lifesaving surgeries on over 600 Ethiopian children in Israel. Soon the operations will be conducted at the Centre. Revealing the Secrets Behind Israel Success Story: What makes Israel a leading Country in Innovation? Deputy Ambassador Mr. Or Daniely shared the secrets of Israel as an innovative country at a fireside chat held at the BlueMoon Ethiopia. Mr. Or discussed what makes Israel one of the leading countries in innovation worldwide, how the public and private sector work to- gether in building the right innovation- enabling ecosystem, and how is that related to Ethiopia. Global rankings of the top innovation ecosys- tems in the world consistently find Israel to be one of the world's top locations for entrepre- neurs and venture capitalists, together with the Silicon Valley in California and the eco- nomic capitals of Europe. Indeed, Israel's self-proclaimed "Startup Nation" title often comes as a surprise due to the country's small size, relatively young economy and culturally diverse population. Yet any- one who knows a thing or two about Israel knows that the country itself is a kind of "startup" endeavor that takes risks, constantly seeks improve- ment and knows that innova- tion and creativity will pave the way forward.

Acknowledgement of difference and acceptance of each person’s unique qualities, as well as their particular blend of cultural influences can assist people to grow in cultural richness and social strength. However more often than not, perceptions and attitudes are based on the limited understandings we currently hold, and we are all prone to prejudice. The key to cultural understanding lies in an open mind. Given the rise in expressions of racist attitudes in recent times, it is more important than ever to remember that general statements about cultural backgrounds can lead to stereotyping. Stereotyping often undervalues individuals and cultures, and can be based on mistaken assumptions. It must be noted that the brief and general descriptions of a culture or country, such as the snapshots in this Cultural Dictionary, should never be applied in a blanket way to any individual or group.

  • How Netanyahu's New Media Policy Is Influencing Israeli, American And
    International Relations and Diplomacy, August 2017, Vol. 5, No. 8, 501-510 D doi: 10.17265/2328-2134/2017.08.004 DAVID PUBLISHING How Netanyahu’s New Media Policy is Influencing Israeli, American and Global Politics Yaron Katz Holon Institute of Technology, Holon, Israel This paper analyzes how the Prime Minister of Israel, Binyamin Netanyahu, uses Israel’s technological superiority and innovative use of digital diplomacy to maintain a leading role in social media and an active and on-going impact on American politics. His global policy approach is based on the realization that we live in a world of technology, and since technology improves at a rapid rate, Israel should stand in the front of global change. His political and social media reign is unquestionable. He was elected the 10th most admired person in the United States, according to the “World’s Most Admired 2016” YouGov poll that gauged the popularity of famous people in 30 different countries. His personal Facebook page reached two million followers worldwide, more than half of them from the United States. As the research demonstrates, his popularity is the result of the ability to mobilize political skills with an effective media campaign. He derives his power directly from the public and engages that public in direct dialogue, bypassing the traditional media. This demonstrates a calculated and savvy use of new media platforms, as his accounts are able to motivate high rates of interaction and interest among followers and others who can view the posts. Keywords: social media, Israel, American politics, digital diplomacy Introduction In trying to examine how the Prime Minister of a small country has become one of the most popular leaders worldwide and is making an impact on Israeli, American and global politics, a few elements need to be taken under consideration.

We are Thomas Teunissen and Annie Lubin and we will be your chairs in simulating the current day Israeli-Palestinian situation. We are both junior boarders here at CA and have been involved in Model UN since freshman year. We are really looking forward to meeting all of you, and seeing what you create over the course of our short yet meaningful committee sessions. The topic of Israel and Palestine is often discussed at Model UN conferences, but it's for good reason. The complex dual history, combined with the unending points of contention converge to create a seemingly impossible situation. However, we do believe that this is a crisis worth tackling, and who better to do so than all of you. We have prepared this topic guide to give you an overview of the history of the issue, and, due to the fact that this is a crisis, a summary of the current day situation and the political figures you will be representing in committee. Although we have given you this resource, do not let it be your only one. Succeeding in committee requires, first and foremost, an understanding of the topic and your character. Therefore, so that we can see the depth of your thinking as to make committee as enjoyable as possible, we require position papers from all delegates before we convene on March 31st.
