  • Tel Aviv Exercising Modernity the Organizer
    Tel Aviv exercising modernity The Organizer Communities & the commons The Pilecki Institute in Warsaw is a research and cultural institution whose main aim Tel Aviv, Israel is to develop international cooperation and to broaden the fields of research and study 24—29.10.2019 on the experiences of the 20th century and on the significance of the European values – democracy and freedom. The Institute pursues reflection on the social, historical and cultural transformations in 20th century Europe with a particular focus on the processes which took place in our region. The patron of the Institute, Witold Pilecki, was a witness to the wartime fate of Poles and himself a victim of the German and Soviet totalitarian regimes. From today’s perspective, Pilecki’s story can prompt us to rethink the Polish experience of modernity in its double aspect: both as the one that brought destruction on Europe and that which continues to serve as an inspiration for promoting freedom and democracy throughout the continent. Under the “Exercising modernity” project, the Pilecki Institute invites scholars and artists to reflect upon modern Europe by studying the beginning and sources of modernity in Poland, Germany and Israel, and by examining the bright and dark sides of the 20th century modernization practices.

  • 2 Palestine Logistics Infrastructure
    2 Palestine Logistics Infrastructure Seaports The Port of Ashdod - just 40 km from Tel Aviv, it is the closest to the country's major commercial centres and highways. Ashdod Port has been operating since 1965 and is one of the few ports in the world built on open sea. The Port of Haifa - the Port of Haifa is the largest of Israel's three major international seaports, which include the Port of Ashdod, and the Port of Eilat. It has a natural deep-water harbour which operates all year long and serves both passenger and cargo ships. The Port of Haifa lies to the north of Haifa's Downtown quarter at the Mediterranean and stretches to some 3 km along the city's central shore with activities ranging from military, industrial and commercial aside to a nowadays-small passenger cruising facility. The Port of Eilat - the Port of Eilat is the only Israeli port on the Red Sea, located at the northern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba. It has significant economic and strategic importance. The Port of Eilat was opened in 1957 and is today mainly used for trading with Far East countries as it allows Israeli shipping to reach the Indian Ocean without having to sail through the Suez Canal. International airports There are two international airports operational in Israel, managed by theIsrael Airports Authority.Ben Gurion Airportserves as the main entrance and exit airport in and out of Israel.Ramon Airportbeing the second largest airport serves as the primarydiversion airportfor Ben Gurion Airport.

Foreword Foreword Traffic congestion is a major problem in Israel. The availability of public transport is being increased to tackle the problem. Near-term improvements in public transport, such as more frequent and better buses, the main public transport service in Israel, will provide some congestion relief. However, it will take time to reap the full benefits of investing in public transport. To provide a near term solution to the congestion problem, an Inter-Ministerial Technical Committee is exploring the introduction of congestion charges that would provide incentives for reducing congestion.

  • IV. TRADE POLICIES by SECTOR (1) 1. the Structure of Israel's Economy
    Israel WT/TPR/S/157/Rev.1 Page 57 IV. TRADE POLICIES BY SECTOR (1) INTRODUCTION 1. The structure of Israel's economy has continued to shift towards services, away from agriculture and manufacturing. The importance of the services sector is growing both in terms of contribution to NDP and to employment. In the mid 1990s, the sector underwent a series of reforms that led to the disengagement of the Government from certain activities. The national airline company (El Al) has been privatized and telecommunications services are undergoing deregulation and privatization to reduce state involvement in these activities and the dominant position of the Government-owned telephone operator, Bezeq. This is making the telecommunications industry more competitive. Nonetheless, the financial services subsector, in particular banking and insurance, remains concentrated. 2. The manufacturing sector has contracted in recent years. However, the sector is marked more than ever by asymmetric developments between high-tech (including electronics, communications, and medical equipment) and traditional industries. The high-tech industry has largely grown in importance, in particular with regard to export capacity. On the contrary, traditional industries have declined sharply due to increased competition from countries with abundant, cheap labor. This has contributed to the shift towards the production of goods intensive in high technology and skilled labour, two main assets of the Israeli economy. 3. As a result of numerous free-trade agreements with other countries, most manufactured imports enter Israel at preferential tariff rates (mostly duty free). The average applied MFN tariff rate on manufactured products (ISIC Revision 2 definition) is moderate, at 7.3%; however, industries such as food, beverages, clothing, footwear, and plastics industries are protected by relatively high tariffs.

  • 2.2 Palestine Aviation (Israel)
    2.2 Palestine Aviation (Israel) Key airport information may also be found at: World AeroData The main airport for Israel is Tel Aviv- Ben Gurion Airport, Ben Gurion Airport, commonly known by its Hebrew acronym as Natbag, is the main international airport of Israel and the busiest airport in the country, located on the northern outskirts of the city of Lod, which is about 45 km northwest of Jerusalem and 20 km to the southeast of Tel Aviv. Another international airport, Eilat’s new Ramon Airport has officially opened just 18 km north of the city Eilat as of January 21, 2019. The new Ramon Airport has replaced the two existing airports in Eilat, Eilat City Airport and Ovda Airport, and creates a new international gateway to Southern Israel and the Red Sea. The Ramon Airport is expected to handle up to 2 million passengers a year upon opening with expansion allowing capacity of up to 4.2 million passengers by the year 2030. All domestic flights to the old Eilat City Airport from Tel Aviv and Haifa have now moved to the new Eilat Ramon Airport, whilst the airport will also begin handling low-cost and charter flights from Europe which previously arrived to Ovda Airport. There are several small airports all over Israel – Rosh Pina, Haifa and Herzelia. Also, in the past there was an airport to the north of Jerusalem which called Qalandia Airport, which was closed from a long time ago and now the plan is to change the area into an Industrial Zone Area. In the Gaza Strip there was an airport, but it was demolished by the IDF.

  • Land Transformation in Israel
    - ~~-~-U-.m --~-~ ~- ~--- Land Transformation in Agriculture Edited by M. G. Wolman and F. G. A. Fournier @ 1987 SCOPE. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd CHAPTER 8 Land Transformation in Israel D. H. K. AMIRAN 8.1 INTRODUCTION The countries around the Mediterranean have experienced far-reaching changes in land quality and land use. The centres of very early, highly developed civilizations of the western world were here. Together with their great achievements they brought about intensive use of the land-sometimes exceSSIveuse. The political changes that affected the area during a millennia of its history involved similar changes, for better or for worse, in husbanding of the land. Extensive areas of olive groves-famous since antiquity-fruit orchards and vineyards, many of them grown on carefully terraced slopes, indicate but some of the prominent achievements of mediterranean agriculture. By con- trast, periods of decline, being sometimes periods of depopulation, brought about very adverse effects, in particular abandonment of cultivated land and disrepair of the terraces. In consequence there was erosion of the soil, and downwash into the valleys of the lowland plains; there was excessive sedimen- tation in these valleys, choking the river and wadi beds, and sometimes followed by formation of swamps owing to lack of drainage; and not infre- quently malaria affected these swampy areas. This whole syndrome of land deterioration is illustrated in many mediterranean countries. A classic case is Israel of the nineteenth century. Israel showed some significant achievements in agriculture and land development in antiquity, and the deterioration is easy to follow in detail. Two factors bring about particu- larly significant effects of processes of land transformation.
