REG JJ Meeting in the Secretary-General's Office at 12.30 p.Ft. on Tuesday, 11 December 1977 Present: Secretary-General Ambassador Herzog Mr. Yosef Lamdan Mr. Brian 'Urquhart ' Ambassador Herzog said that" he had been in Israel to discuss whether or not he should run for the Knesset. Another, and probably better, possibility was that he should stay on at the United Nations until after the elections and then conceivably serve as Minister. The' Secretary-General said that, from his personal point of view, he hoped that Ambassador Herzog would stay at the United Nations. ' Ambassador Herzog described the current political situation in Israel. The' Secretary-General said he had read with interest Prime Minister Rabin's statement that the electoral process would not interfere with efforts to start the negotiating process on the Middle East problem. The timetable for the Secretary-General's visit to the Middle East was then discussed. It was agreed that Ambassador Herzog should communicate with the Israeli authorities on the basis that the Secretary-General would arrive in Jerusalem by road from Amman at 9.30 a.m. on Thursday, 10 February and would leave early on Saturday, 12 February, for Cairo. "-•>. "f§** It was not excluded that he might come back to Israel from Cairo if that was necessary. -v- _' Ambassador Herzog repeated that the Secretary-General would . be visiting Israel on the. basis of resolution 338 and not of the General Assembly resolution. It would help if, in his 'first public appearance, the Secretary-General could re-emphasize the importance of resolutions 242'and 338. The question of the leader of the Labour Party would not be decided until the - 2 - end of February, which might present certain difficulties as far as the Secretary-General's visit was concerned. There was no question that Shimon Peres would run for the Office of Prime Minister-. Ambassador Herzog felt personally that the beginning of June was the most practical date for the Geneva conference to open. The Secretary-General mentioned that there had been suggestions that the ceremonial opening could take place before the Israeli elections. ""•' Ambassador Herzog said that-, as far as negotiations over the Sinai and Golan were concerned, there was no debate in Israel. The big issue was whether or not the West Bank was negotiable. MapaHi (left-wing Labour Party) was insisting that the West Bank be included, although most people in Israel were open ' • prepared to leave the matteivfor the time being. The Secretary-General said his trip was primarily to investigate the procedural aspects of the reconvening of the conference. .Jjt,r-L_- ----- ' • Ambassador Herzog said that another reason for delaying his visit would have been that the Palestinian Council was meeting at the end of February. He personally felt it unlikely that- this meeting would result in a change in the Palestine Covenant. There was no indication of such a change from the PLO represen- tatives with whom various Israelis had met in the past weeks. Moreover the Arabs had never stated that the 1967 borders were in fact the line on which a peace settlement could be agreed. Nonetheless, Mr. Allon felt that the present situation did present certain opportunities. As regards the participation of the PLO in the Geneva conference, Israel ;jwould wait for the Palestinian Council, which was unlikely to dojanything. Arafat was at present resisting efforts to fill up the Arab Council with other Palestinian representatives, and the question was how many new members the Arab Governments could force Arafat to accept. There was a gradual split emerging between the emigre Palestinian leadership and the leadership in the actual territories. Jordan was quietly making its influence felt in this process. - 3 - The Secretary-General said that he did not exclude the necessity of having to return to Israel on Sunday, 13 February. Ambassador Herzog said there would be no objection to this ' -provided that it was on the basis of his role as Secretary-General. He saw no possibility of acceptance 'of PLO participation in the conference as long as there was no change in the Palestine Covenant. Israel was against a single Arab delegation because specific problems would in any case have to be discussed with those particularly concerned. He understood that the Soviet Union also opposed a single delegation. Israel felt that the PLO issue was becoming irrelevant as the PLO was far less important than it had been and had roused antagonism in Syria, Jordan and Egypt. Syria was making strong efforts to change the member- ship of the Palestinian Council and get the control for Saiqa. As far as Jordan was concerned, the King was anxious to get the Rabat decision out of the way as soon as possible. For all these reasons there were great dangers in pushing the conference too fast. In any case, its work would be a matter of years rather than of months. It was important to stress this aspect in all conversations. The Secretary-General said that this was one reason why he felt that working groups were a good idea as they could make their own programmes and continue for as long as necessary. ' Ambassador Herzog said there was at present a struggle for leadership in the Arab world, where nothing ever seemed to be permanent. The position of Saudi Arabia was a new element in the situation, although Israel was worried about the vast amounts of armaments now being bought by Saudi -Arabia. On the other hand, it was clear that the Saudis were worried about the PLO and that the religious fanaticism of the previous regime was now abating. .^ v D ? r-. i s c _ o i ! £_ i_ _' i\ S_ >/ it. i. 25 ; Cii ai 7CD :;i_i-i_!? iSi. ! &!•-.

    A Caseworker's Guide to Processing Cases with Israel

    Page 1 of 27 A Caseworker’s Guide to Processing Cases with Israel “A Caseworker’s Guide to Processing Cases with Israel” provides contact and policy information and describes basic requirements for forms and procedures for use in cases between Israel and U.S. jurisdictions. Israel and the U.S. entered into a federal-level Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) under the terms of which Israel and the United States each express its intent to process child support requests for the other. The MOU provides for an initial period of three years effective February 5, 2009 through February 4, 2012. It continues in effect unless either side notifies the other that it wishes to end its cooperation. An initial period was agreed to because of Israel’s need to evaluate the number of cases coming from the U.S. and the cost of providing free services in these cases. Pursuant to this MOU, Israel has been declared a foreign reciprocating country according to section 459A of the Social Security Act (Act). Israel’s procedures conform substantially with the mandatory elements set forth in section 459A(b)(1) of the Act. Similar to U.S. procedures, Israel will enforce spousal support under the MOU only if the spousal support was entered together with a child support order. The Central Authority for Israel is the Legal Aid Department of the Ministry of Justice. This office was appointed as the Central Authority with respect to the United Nations Convention on Recovery of Maintenance Abroad (New York, 1956). Accordingly, the office has considerable experience working with international child support cases.

    Fresh Study from Sweden Indicates Major Changes for Office Life Post-Corona the Pandemic Has Radically Changed How, When, and Where People Want to Work in the Future

    Press release, Gothenburg, June 8, 2021 Fresh study from Sweden indicates major changes for office life post-corona The pandemic has radically changed how, when, and where people want to work in the future. As digitalization opens up for more flexibility, working 9-5 from Monday to Friday at the office will soon be a thing of the past. These and more findings are available in the new report Working life of the future, produced by Castellum, one of Scandinavia’s leading real estate companies and the largest provider of office workspace in the Nordic region. -The report is based on a unique study of 2,000 Swedish office workers but we are convinced that its core results are universal, says Malin Engelbrecht, Head of Strategic Inititatives. While the vaccine is being rolled out around the world, many companies face challenges in adapting their workplaces to the new normal. But what do employees really expect, and how has the perception of an attractive workplace changed during the pandemic? Castellum asked 2,000 office workers and present the results in the report “Working life of the future”, which is now available online. The report focuses on driving factors and how they may influence people’s expectations of employers in the near future. How has the pandemic affected our attitudes to working life? What habits and behaviors have changed – and which would we like to see continue? And perhaps most important: how can employers ensure they are attractive post-pandemic? Here are 5 key insights: • Full-time employment is rated considerably
  • The Memory of the Yom Kippur War in Israeli Society

    The Memory of the Yom Kippur War in Israeli Society

    The Myth of Defeat: The Memory of the Yom Kippur War in Israeli Society CHARLES S. LIEBMAN The Yom Kippur War of October 1973 arouses an uncomfortable feeling among Israeli Jews. Many think of it as a disaster or a calamity. This is evident in references to the War in Israeli literature, or the way in which the War is recalled in the media, on the anniversary of its outbreak. 1 Whereas evidence ofthe gloom is easy to document, the reasons are more difficult to fathom. The Yom Kippur War can be described as failure or defeat by amassing one set of arguments but it can also be assessed as a great achievement by marshalling other sets of arguments. This article will first show why the arguments that have been offered in arriving at a negative assessment of the War are not conclusive and will demonstrate how the memory of the Yom Kippur War might have been transformed into an event to be recalled with satisfaction and pride. 2 This leads to the critical question: why has this not happened? The background to the Yom Kippur War, the battles and the outcome of the war, lend themselves to a variety of interpretations. 3 Since these are part of the problem which this article addresses, the author offers only the barest outline of events, avoiding insofar as it is possible, the adoption of one interpretive scheme or another. In 1973, Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, fell on Saturday, 6 October. On that day the Egyptians in the south and the Syrians in the north attacked Israel.

There’s no way in a million years that a smoking hot lesbian babe would come up to you and ask you out on a date. It just wouldn’t happen. I mean, I’m sure you must be very attractive to plenty of lesbians out there, but let’s face facts: they don’t look like Jennifer Beals, they look like Rosie O’Donnell. 2 MICHAEL (cont’d) That’s why the ‘L Word’ is just a TV show, and this is real life.

Most studies concentrate on somewhat conventional cleavages, such as the socioeconomic cleavage, the ethnic cleavage, the religious or the political one; this article, by contrast, suggests a different point of view for the mapping of social cleavages within Israeli society. It claims that the Jewish population in Israel is split into two competing groups: stakeholders versus deprived. These categories of social identity are psychological states of mind in which no matter how the national resources are distributed, the stakeholders will always act as superiors, even if they are in inferior positions, while the deprived will always take the role of eternal underdog even if all of the major political ranks come under their control.

    Why Do They Hate Us?--Geography of the Palestine-Israel Conflict And

    “Why Do They Hate Us/U.S.?” and “Why Do We Hate Them?” Is It Because Of “Their” Islam Or Because Of “Our” Support For Israel? Geography of the Palestine-Israel Conflict Presentation to the Association of American Geographers, Boston, MA, April 2008, and Bloomington, IN, November 2008 Mohamed Elyassini, PhD, Associate Professor of Geography, Indiana State University 1. “The bonds between the United States and Israel are unbreakable and the commitment of the United States to the security of Israel is ironclad… I and my administration have made the security of Israel a priority. It’s why we’ve increased cooperation between our militaries to unprecedented levels. It’s why we’re making our most advanced technologies available to our Israeli allies. It’s why, despite tough fiscal times, we’ve increased foreign military financing to record levels. And that includes additional support –- beyond regular military aid -– for the Iron Dome anti-rocket system… So make no mistake, we will maintain Israel’s qualitative military edge… You also see our commitment to our shared security in our determination to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Here in the United States, we’ve imposed the toughest sanctions ever on the Iranian regime… You also see our commitment to Israel’s security in our steadfast opposition to any attempt to de-legitimize the State of Israel. As I said at the United Nations last year, ‘Israel’s existence must not be a subject for debate,’ and ‘efforts to chip away at Israel’s legitimacy will only be met by the unshakeable opposition of the United States.’ So when the Durban Review Conference advanced anti-Israel sentiment, we withdrew.
