Arnon Mantver, the Director
General of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee
(JDC) in Israel, speaks to Federation
leadership
Arnon Mantver, the Director General of the American Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) in Israel, spoke to a
group of Federation leadership on the morning of August 8,
2003.
Mr. Mantver discussed the current political and economic situation in Israel.
He claimed that Israelis are very happy and relieved about the current cease-fire
after more than two years of intifida. Most Israelis, he claimed, are cautiously
optimistic about future prospects for peace. He said that he believes that Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon is the right person to be negotiating with the Palestinian
leadership, as he has the credibility with the Israeli right wing to obtain their
approval for the process. READ
