Supporting the Annapolis Process

KAS/IPCRI STAT Workshop in Nazareth

From February 15 – 16, 2008 Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung and its partner IPCRI organized a meeting with the Strategic Thinking and Analysis Team (STAT) consisting of Israeli and Palestinian scholars and political advisers to form negotiations support teams which will promote the peace negotiations. The time factor is crucial: following the Annapolis meeting, an agreement is supposed to be reached within a year. Regarding the broad spectrum of complex issues and the slow pace of the negotiations since November 2007, major efforts will have to be made by the negotiators to meet that deadline.

Exchange of Experience between chairpersons of Knesset and Bundestag

Program in Germany for Israeli politicians

On invitation of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung a delegation of chairpersons of Knesset committees visited Germany from January, 13-20, 2008. The delegation was headed by Menachem Ben Sasson of the Kadima Party, who chairs the Committee for Constitution, Law, and Justice. The delegation was composed of members of Kadima (David Tal) and of the coalition partners Gil (Itshac Galantee) and Israel Beteinu (Sofa Landver). Moreover, for the first time a member of the ultra-orthodox Shas party, Amnon Cohen, joined a KAS delegation. Cohen is the Deputy Speaker of the Knesset. The trip aimed at supporting dialogue between the German and the Israeli Parliament, establishing personal contacts between parliamentarians, especially between chairpersons of committees. Thus, the goal was to provide a platform for the exchange of experience concerning the proceedings in the respective Parliaments.

Reality Check for the "Future Vision" Documents

KAS/KAP Conference

One year ago Arab intellectuals and members of several NGOs in Israel met and published a number of documents under the title of "The Future Vision of Palestinian-Arabs in Israel". The documents present a completely new position of Israeli Arabs vis-à-vis the State of Israel. The phrasing aims no longer at the submissive integration into Israel’s Jewish society hoping for equal treatment in return. On the contrary, it challenges the Jewish character of the State of Israel demanding the acknowledgement of the Arab minority as an autonomous entity with a particular culture and separate laws. These documents received divided attention. First, they were discussed in public, before – intentionally or not – public interest faded away. However, KAS and its Konrad Adenauer Program for Jewish-Arab Cooperation understood this as a watershed event in the history of the Arab citizens of Israel and possibly for the character of the state. Therefore, we decided to closely follow the repercussions of these documents on a continuing basis.

A Landmark for Freedom and Justice

Symposium on the the Contribution of the Eichmann Trial to International Criminal Law

Hardly any other case tried in an Israeli court has had as far-reaching implications as the 1961 Eichmann trial. This was emphasized during a symposium organized by KAS Jerusalem and its partner, the Minerva Center for Human Rights. International experts and approximately 200 participants discussed how the trial influenced the development of both international criminal law and socio-psychological identities in Israel and the world. The symposium was held to honor Gabriel Bach, the deputy prosecutor in the Eichmann trial, who celebrated his 80th Birthday. Justice Bach has been a close partner of KAS Jerusalem for many years.
