The Health Ministry stressed that the patient, who is being treated at the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, did not contract the virus in Israel. The first case in Israel was announced on Friday. The two were among 11 Israelis allowed off the Diamond Princess ship in Yokohama, Japan and flown home after initially testing negative. All were placed in isolation for a 14-day period.

Israeli and South Korean airliners will participate in the airlift that will transport the South Koreans stranded in Israel on direct flights to Seoul. Medical officials will monitor the health of passengers before they board. The planes will then return to Israel and undergo a process to disinfect them. Airport authorities said the Korean Air passengers who could not board their flight home over the weekend because of the government's decision to bar entry of non-Israelis from South Korea will be able to leave Sunday on connecting flights. The hundreds of South Koreans have been held in a secluded tented area in the airport.

Neither party is predicted to secure a parliamentary majority, indicating no clear end to Israel's unprecedented political deadlock. According to Channel 12, Netanyahu's Likud is expected to win 34 seats while Kahol Lavan is expected to win 33 seats. A poll by Channel 12 from last week predicted Gantz would win 35 seats and Netanyahu 33. Sunday's Kan poll predicts 35 seats for Likud and 34 seats for Gantz in the March 2 election. The third largest party in both polls is the Arab-majority Joint List, predicted to win 14 seats according to Kan and 13 seats according to Channel 12. See also “ Likud passes Blue and White in polls” (JPost) AP Pope Cautions Against 'Unfair' Middle East Peace Plans Pope Francis has cautioned against "unfair" solutions aimed at ending the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. In a speech Sunday during a visit to the Italian southern port city of Bari to reflect on peace in countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, Francis lamented the many areas of war and conflict, including in the Middle East and Northern Africa. Francis spoke of "the still unresolved conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, with the danger of not fair solutions, and, thus, presaging new crises." The pope didn't cite any specific proposals. A new U.S. peace plan would let Israel annex all of its settlements along with the strategic Jordan Valley. It would give the Palestinians limited autonomy in several chunks of territory with a capital on the outskirts of Jerusalem. Times of Israel Sanders Won’t Attend AIPAC: ‘Gives Platform to Express Bigotry’ Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said Sunday that he would skip the upcoming American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference. The Vermont senator said the pro-Israel lobby’s annual confab, which draws top Israeli and US officials, provided a venue for other leaders to disparage Palestinians. “The Israeli people have the right to live in peace and security. So do the Palestinian people,” Sanders tweeted. “I remain concerned about the platform AIPAC provides for leaders who express bigotry and oppose basic Palestinian rights. For that reason I will not attend their conference.” It was not clear which leaders Sanders was referring to.

Yet, there is one group in Israel that is arguably benefiting from the cycle of do-over elections — campaign advisers and managers.Despite the challenge of drumming up new strategies, slogans and video clips to entice voters, those working with Israel’s political parties and candidates have found themselves gainfully employed for most of the past year. • In Israel, a year of political limbo is exacting a toll. “It’s definitely been demanding and challenging, but I have also gained a lot of valuable experience,” said Srulik Einhorn, the chief creative director and strategic consultant to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party election campaign. Einhorn has worked with Netanyahu’s team through all three elections, not only perfecting his craft but also building a name for himself in a relatively small and competitive industry. “I now know what works and what does not work,” he said. “And from one election to the next, I have sharpened our messaging and our unique methods of data gathering, segmenting, targeting and implementing them in very precise ways.” • It’s not an easy task in the age of social media, where the public is perpetually inundated with information and attention spans are forever shrinking, particularly when it comes to a political battle that has been stuck in a frustratingly repetitive scenario for more than a year. • Polls published this week show that this third round of voting is likely to produce almost identical results to the first round in April and the second round in September.

In our transliteration, when the syllable falls somewhere else other than the last syllable, that stressed syllable will be underlined. Example: Melech. Hebrew Rules The following are some of the Hebrew rules you may notice in our siddurim (connection books). In Hebrew, the accent generally falls on the last syllable, however it sometimes falls Kjl¤ n«¤ somewhere else in the word. Whenever a syllable other than the last is accented, a “meteg” (the vertical line under the first letter) will appear. The “masoret” above the letter Chaf indicates that this is a Kamatz Katan, which is lkǨ pronounced as “o”; in this example the word is “kol.” The “rafe” above a letter indicates it is a Shva Na.

  • Gaza Settler Relocation: New Progress, Ongoing Complications
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 504 Gaza Settler Relocation: New Progress, Ongoing Complications Jun 15, 2005 Brief Analysis mong the challenges facing the Israeli government in the weeks before the Gaza disengagement commences A are relocating evacuated settlers and determining the future of settlement assets. This PeaceWatch will examine the former issue; a future PeaceWatch will address the latter. Settler Compensation On June 9, 2005, the Israeli supreme court handed down judgment on twelve petitions challenging the Evacuation Compensation Law. Although the court upheld the legality of the disengagement, it offered additional support to the settlers, increasing the amount of aid for relocation. The decision is expected to increase the number of settlers entering into relocation and compensation negotiations with the government. In general, settlers have been given three choices for the manner in which they relocate: they can move as a community, they can resettle anywhere in Israel on an individual basis, or they can take advantage of additional incentives to relocate to empty homesteads in the sparsely populated Negev or Galilee. One means of evaluating settler attitudes and intentions toward these and other options is by observing their degree of preparation for resettlement. Taking concrete steps to ensure that they will be comfortably relocated within Israel proper demonstrates a degree of pragmatism on their part, regardless of their ideological opposition to disengagement. Accordingly, although the settler leadership dismissed the court's ruling, cracks have begun to show among the residents of Gush Katif, a cluster of ideologically conservative settlements in the southwest corner of Gaza. If the government can reach an agreement with them regarding their future homes in the near term, it could decrease the intensity of the opposition expected to erupt once the disengagement begins.
