Israel Taps Political Outsider As New UN Ambassador ISRAEL A T S I X T Y From Modest Beginnings to a Vibrant State 1948 –20 0 8 - web extra - Israel Taps ‘Political Outsider’ as New U.N. Ambassador By Dina Kraft, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, August 12, 2008 OFFICIAL COMMEMORATIVE PUBLICATION • ISRAEL MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS Gabriela Shalev TEL AVIV (JTA)—An exceptional intellect paired with an unflappable exterior are traits Gabriela Shalev’s high-powered colleagues and friends say will serve her well when she leaves for New York to become Israel’s next ambassador to the United Nations. Shalev, an internationally renowned law professor, will be the first woman to serve in the post. She was appointed to replace Dan Gillerman. “She has a strong will and she knows what she is talking about,” said Meir Shamgar, a former chief justice of Israel’s Supreme Court. Shamgar first encountered Shalev when she was a student in a course he taught at Hebrew University. A few years later Shalev joined Shamgar as a colleague on the university’s law faculty, where she worked until 2002. More recently, the two served together on a panel outlining ethics guidelines for Cabinet ministers. Shalev, 67, is an expert in contract law and a political outsider not associated with any party who has been serving as the rector of Ono Academic College near Tel Aviv. In appointing Shalev, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni indicated that she was determined to put a highly qualified woman in the role. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert reportedly had favored Alon Pinkas, a former Israeli consul general in New York and a Labor Party member. Some Israeli commentators criticized Livni for picking a political outsider, but Jerusalem Post columnist Calev Ben-David said Livni’s choice may work well for the audience that perhaps matters most: international public opinion. “Livni was justified in wanting a woman for the post for reasons beyond gender advancement: Polls show that given Israel’s militaristic image abroad, women make the best general impression as our advocates in the international media,” Ben-David wrote. Despite some grumbling from the diplomatic corps that one of their own again was passed over for the important position in New York – Gillerman also had been a political outsider until his selection – Shalev’s supporters say she is a quick study who will compensate for any foreign policy inexperience with her talents as an orator and a team player. Shalev declined a request by JTA to be interviewed for this story. Her office said she will not be giving interviews until she assumes her post in New York ahead of the U.N. General Assembly, which begins in September. The daughter of German Jewish refugees in what was then British Mandate Palestine, Shalev grew up with a strong work ethic. She helped support her family while a student at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University, from where she earned a bachelor’s degree and a doctorate in law. She also did post-doctorate work at Harvard after her husband, an Israeli army officer, was killed in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Shalev raised two young children alone. “The experiences of Israel are part of her, and she’s also paid a price,” said Orna Lin, a former student of Shalev’s and a good friend. Lin described Shalev as a relentless worker who also knows how to find time for students and friends, and who can talk as easily about her passions for opera, classical music and art as she can about legal disputes. This was not the first attempt to draw Shalev into government work. Shalev declined several high- profile posts, including judgeships and the office of attorney general. Nevertheless, she is no stranger to public positions. Shalev has been a member of the Jewish Agency board of governors and was chairwoman of the Israel Broadcasting Authority. Shalev has spent time in the United States as a visiting professor at such schools as Tulane, Temple and Boston College. Alan Hoffman, the director-general of the Jewish Agency’s education department, called Shalev’s selection “an inspired choice.” “She has all of the tools to be able to interpret Israel to the nations of the world,” Hoffman said. “I think she is unusual in the academic world in that she has not only been a professor but very active publicly.” Lin says Shalev is always calm and in control. “She can deal with any situation and never seems to be baffled by anything,” Lin said. “I think her intelligence will help prevent her from falling into the landmines that await in a place like the U.N.” Her predecessor, Gillerman, was a former businessman who upon leaving his post this summer was lauded as a seasoned diplomat with excellent rhetorical skills. Observers said Gillerman succeeded in raising Israel’s profile at the United Nations and bolstering its image around the world. At a farewell party last month for Gillerman, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon offered deep praise for the Israeli envoy’s tenure at the world body, noting the “special challenges” of representing Israel. Shalev will have plenty of challenges awaiting in New York. Most notably, she must navigate the notoriously anti-Israel atmosphere at the United Nations and help push for diplomatic support for Israel’s efforts to halt Iran’s suspected pursuit of nuclear weapons..

    ALLIANCE IN CRISIS: Israel’s Standing in the World and the Question of Isolation Research and Writing Assaf Sharon Shivi Greenfield Mikhael Manekin Oded Naaman Jesse Rothman Dahlia Shaham Design: Yosef Bercovich Design: Yosef Alliance in Crisis _ 2 Executive Summary Israel's international standing has been the focus of attention for many years. Is Israel moving towards international isolation? Can one quantify the effects of the widely discussed boycotts on Israel's economy? What can be done to put an end to Israel's rapidly deteriorating relations with the US and Europe? These are questions that rightly occupy the thoughts of many Israelis as well as the country's leadership. Yet despite the issues’ importance, the conversation on Israel's foreign relations lacks depth and is often based on slogans rather than empirical data. The discussion oscillates between apocalyptic warnings on the one hand, and dangerous complacency on the other. This report analyzes Israel's international relations with the goal of arriving at a clear understanding of Israel's current status in the world, and aims to identify the specific threats and opportunities it faces. It focuses on the three arenas of diplomacy, economics, and culture. The principle findings are as follows: Israel's international standing is an unprecedented success story. Since Israel's establishment, every head of state has understood the importance of ties with the US and Europe, especially given Israel's regional political isolation. The world has shown that it is interested in close ties with Israel. Israel’s central role in the international community in a variety of fields – from science and culture to security and diplomacy – is a remarkable accomplishment.

Sans précédent, cette administration internationale marqua le point de départ de l’internationalisation de la question de la Palestine, dont le droit international allait servir de socle à une nouvelle forme de colonialisme. Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l’Organisation des Nations Unies (ONU) continua l’action entreprise par la SDN en s’occupant également de cette question sur la demande des Britanniques. En novembre 1947, l’ONU décida du partage de la Palestine en deux Etats pour résoudre les conflits entre sionistes et nationalistes arabes.

  • Annual Report 2013-14.Indd
    2013–2014 ANNUAL REPORT ABOUT THE INSTITUTE The Leonard Davis Institute for International Relations was established in 1972 at the Hebrew University, thanks to the generosity of the American philanthropist whose name it bears. Located in the Alfred Davis building on Hebrew University’s Mount Scopus campus, the Institute is surrounded by evocative vistas. Westward are the domes and spires of the Old City of Jerusalem; to the east, visible on a clear day, are the Dead Sea and the mountains of Moab; and to the south are the tower of the Augusta Victoria hospice and the Mount of Olives. The Institute’s identity and mission spring from its position of privilege and responsibility in one of the most fascinating historical cities in the world: Jerusalem, the site of holy places cherished by the three monotheistic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Two thousand years after the destruction of Herod’s temple by the Roman legions, Jerusalem is the capital of the reborn State of Israel, as well as the seat of its government. Since its inception, the Leonard Davis Institute has provided a nonpartisan and independent platform for research, education, and discussion on issues of international studies in general and Israel’s diplomacy and foreign policy in particular. The Institute has three broad aims when planning its programs, which are reinforced in this age of globalization: 1. To promote research in international relations theory, adopting a broad perspective that draws on a variety of disciplines. 2. To present the universal themes of international politics to the Israeli public, thereby enhancing the national discourse on these matters.

INTRODUCTION On October 18, 2011, Israel struck a prisoner-exchange agreement with the Palestinian organization Hamas: Israel released 1027 Palestinian prisoners (jointly responsible for the death of some six-hundred Israelis) in return for one Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit.1 Past experience has amply proven that many of those released will return to further violence.2 Yet, within Israeli society, the deal was broadly accepted.3 Elsewhere, however, the reaction was quite different, with many of Israel’s most prominent and ardent supporters condemning the exchange.4 How are we to account for such disparate responses? What features of Israeli and, conversely, American society might explain this variation?
