IDF chief Benny Gantz to Haaretz: Pressure on Iran starting to bear fruit

Israel's Leading Daily Newspaper. Established 1919HAARETZEnglish Editionwww.haaretz.comNational obsession / Amalia RosenblumNavel gazing,Israeli-styleIndependence Day celebrations, which begin this evening,will feature all the hallmarks they do every year: the ceremonies,the cars fes<strong>to</strong>oned with Israeli flags made in China, thebarbecues with meat from South America − and our infatuationwith surveys about what it means <strong>to</strong> be Israeli.As fascinated as we are by the Central Bureau of Statistics’annual figures on population growth − we now number 7.88 million,by the way, and 14 of our cities have more than 100,000 residents− we seem <strong>to</strong> be more curious about what makes us Israeli.One book on this <strong>to</strong>pic is sociologist Gad Yair’s “The Code ofIsraeliness,” which addresses issues like “why do we improviseinstead of planning?” and “why are we all brothers here?” Ontelevision, the series “Who is an Israeli” tried <strong>to</strong> answer thequestion by discussing Israeli symbols, heroes and beloved Hebrewsongs. Opinion polls, meanwhile, ask respondents <strong>to</strong> namethe song and symbol they consider most Israeli − and even themost Israeli occupant in the “Big Brother” house.Then there are the attempts <strong>to</strong> define Israeli Hebrew; bookson this subject and slang lexicons sometimes hit the best-sellerlist. Anyone who still doesn’t believe that this is an obsessionneed only remember that a frequently read newspaper column,by political newcomer Yair Lapid, is called “Being Israeli.”But is the passion for opinion polls a real attempt <strong>to</strong> crackthe code? Or do we have other reasons? After all, we don’t needpolls <strong>to</strong> know which is the best-selling car in Israel, all we have<strong>to</strong> do is look in our parking spot. We’re driving a Mazda 3, watchingthe satire show “A Wonderful Country,” supporting PrimeMinister Benjamin Netanyahu and planning <strong>to</strong> lose weight thissummer.So if we know the answers, what’s the attraction of the opinionpolls? Maybe it’s just a pleasant narcissistic pastime. Maybethe surveys are a quick and efficient way <strong>to</strong> make sure we’re doingand thinking what everyone around us is doing and thinking.And maybe it’s a desire <strong>to</strong> bolster our faith that something outthere can be called “Israeliness.” If there is, that’s pretty cool,because most of the time we notice our differences more thanour similarities.But maybe these opinion polls don’t quite reflect us, butrather, what we would like <strong>to</strong> be. After all, in the polls, no oneasks “Who would you most like <strong>to</strong> get in<strong>to</strong> a fight with: yourromantic partner, a stranger at a traffic light, a fan at a soccermatch or an Arab?” The truth is, we often read them in thehope that they’ll underscore old values, like brotherhood and“family-ness,” and that old Israeli favorite, the kombina − thedodgy solution on the sly.But whether we’re kissing ourselves in the mirror or trulytrying <strong>to</strong> understand who we are, we can surely add <strong>to</strong> the listthat the most Israeli person is the one who loves surveys thattell us what we already know about ourselves.Inside <strong>to</strong>dayHamas votesGroup electsHaniyeh as Gazapolitburo <strong>chief</strong>News, Page A2Kidronclean-upPolitics and pricemean valley maystay pollutedZafrir Rinat, Page A4Israeli firmsTnuva and Osem<strong>to</strong>p list of ‘mostIsraeli’ companiesOra Coren, Page A9<strong>IDF</strong> <strong>chief</strong> <strong>Benny</strong> <strong>Gantz</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Haaretz</strong>:<strong>Pressure</strong> on Iran starting <strong>to</strong> bear fruitהוראות לעידכון התאריך:‏1. עדכון התאריך ב-‏‎3‎ השטחים2. בחירת כלי חץ שחור )F1(.3 בחירה מהתפריט:‏ File > Export4. בחירה באופציה PDF ‏)זה בדרך כלל נמצא במצב הזה(.‏5. החלפת הקובץ בקודם .)iht.pdf(ISRAEL REMEMBERS ITS FALLENSoldiers at the Western Wall bowing their heads during last night’s one-minute siren marking the start of Memorial Day.Israel will mark the day with ceremonies across the country and a two-minute siren will sound at 11 A.M.

The sewage runningthrough the valley, which begins inEast Jerusalem and winds its wayeastward down <strong>to</strong> the Dead Sea, hasseverely damaged the ecology ofthe area and threatens the health oflocal residents.Last week a meeting <strong>to</strong> promotesolutions <strong>to</strong> the problem was heldnear the <strong>to</strong>wn of Ubeidiya in thePalestinian Authority, east of Jerusalem.The meeting was initiated bythe Ubeidiya municipality, Israel’sDead Sea Drainage Authority anda steering committee comprisinga number of Israeli agencies andministries. The committee, headedby environmental law expert Prof.Reuven Laster, has recently put <strong>to</strong>gethera comprehensive program<strong>to</strong> rehabilitate the valley.Last week’s meeting, held in atent that had been symbolicallyplaced over the sewage-soakedKidron streambed, was attended byrepresentatives of Israel’s WaterAuthority and Palestinian AuthorityWater Minister, Dr. Shaddad Attili.Jerusalem has in recent yearstreated sewage from its westernneighborhoods at a treatment plantwest of the city. However sewagefrom East Jerusalem has been flowinguntreated through the Kidronfor years. The Jerusalem sewage isaugmented by sewage from Palestiniancommunities, bringing a <strong>to</strong>talof more than 10 million cubic meters− making the Kidron the most pollutedstreambed in either Israel orthe PA. There are also currently 900known refuse dumps in the valley.“I have no other way <strong>to</strong> describethe life of the people living in theseplaces except as life without humandignity and with no respect for nature,”Laster said.The sewage that flows throughthe Kidron is currently impoundedby the Jordan Valley Water Associationbefore it reaches the Dead Sea,and after basic purification is used<strong>to</strong> irrigate fields in settlements inthat area.Upstream problemBut that does not prevent the pollutionof the upstream portion ofthe valley. Israel and the PA havefor years been unable <strong>to</strong> agree onwhere sewage treatment facilitiesshould be built, and Israel hadbegun studying the possibility ofpumping it <strong>to</strong> treatment plants wes<strong>to</strong>f the capital − an expensive andcomplicated engineering solution.However, the steering committeehas developed a master plan basedon Israeli-Palestinian cooperation.“The plan is <strong>to</strong> build the treatmentplant in Ubeidiya, which canbe used by the Palestinians for agriculturalirrigation,” the direc<strong>to</strong>rof the Dead Sea Drainage Authority,Gery Amel, said, adding thatsome of the sewage would continue<strong>to</strong> flow eastward and be treateddownstream.The steering committee alsowants <strong>to</strong> encourage the Jerusalemmunicipality and East Jerusalemresidents <strong>to</strong> collect refuse more efficiently.But the plan is not immune <strong>to</strong> po-הוראות לעידכון התאריך:‏1. עדכון התאריך ב-‏‎3‎ השטחים2. בחירת כלי חץ שחור )F1(.3 בחירה מהתפריט:‏ File > Export4. בחירה באופציה PDF ‏)זה בדרך כלל נמצא במצב הזה(.‏5. החלפת הקובץ בקודם .)iht.pdf(litical tensions. “We will not agreefor the sewage <strong>to</strong> be channeled <strong>to</strong>another treatment plant and beused <strong>to</strong> irrigate [agriculture in] settlements,”Attili said last week.Dov Kuznetsov, head of the JordanValley Water Association, saidhe would agree <strong>to</strong> any division ofthe sewage the Water Authorityagreed <strong>to</strong>, but that he thought thePalestinian Authority would not beable <strong>to</strong> afford the operational costsof the sewage treatment plant, orfind enough agricultural areas <strong>to</strong>utilize the sewage.The Environmental ProtectionMinistry said that while it had beenin on the master plan developedby the steering committee, “wefeel the solution chosen cannot beimplemented.” Building a sewagepipeline in the Kidron would damagethe cliffs, the ministry said,suggesting instead channeling mos<strong>to</strong>f the sewage <strong>to</strong> treatment plantswest of Jerusalem, leaving 20 percent<strong>to</strong> be treated by a Palestinianplant.Shiran GranotRepresentatives of the Ethiopian community at the High Court ofJustice for yesterday’s hearing.Court lets Ethiopianskeep protest tent upnear PM’s residenceBy Oz RosenbergThe Supreme Court is lettingEthiopian Israelis keeptheir protest tent up outsidethe Prime Minister’s Residencefor another month,describing as “petty” theJerusalem municipality’s request<strong>to</strong> dismantle the tentimmediately.The justices allowed theactivists, who are protestinganti-Ethiopian discrimination,<strong>to</strong> stay where they areuntil the end of May, pendingtheir compliance with severalbylaws.The activists called thecourt’s decision a vic<strong>to</strong>ry.“Justice must also be seen <strong>to</strong>be done,” said at<strong>to</strong>rney OsnatSchwartz, who offered thetent dwellers legal advice.By overturning a regulationunder which protest tentsmust be dismantled withinthree days, “the SupremeCourt set a new precedent,”Schwartz said.The protesters set up theirtent in February at the endof a weeks-long campaign<strong>to</strong> raise awareness aboutanti-Ethiopian racism.

He certainly was one of the greatest Jewishmedium-distance andlong-distance runners, butsometimes such superlativesdon’t do justice <strong>to</strong> an athlete.In the 1924 Paris Olympics,Katz won the silver medal inthe 3,000-meter steeplechaseand gold in 3,00-meter teamrace for Finland. His teamwas known as the “FlyingFinns.” It included two of thebest distance runners of alltime: the legendary PaavoNurmi and Ville Ri<strong>to</strong>la. Thetwo amassed 14 gold medalsand six silver medals betweenthem in Olympic competitionduring the 1920s.Katz’s grandfather wasa soldier in the Czar’s armywho served in Finland andeventually settled there.Katz was born in Turku, thecountry’s second largest city.In his youth, he played soccerfor the local Jewish club,Judiska Idrottssalskapet. Healso competed in running,and after winning the 1,000-meter and 1,500-meter raceswithout even preparing hejoined the Turkey runningclub at the age of 18. He metNurmi, who was four yearshis senior, at the club.There are testimoniesthat Nurmi liked Katz a lotand gave him a lot of adviceregarding his running style,according <strong>to</strong> Matti Hannus, aFinnish sports his<strong>to</strong>rian. Hannuswrote in the “Journal ofOlympic His<strong>to</strong>ry” that HarriEljanko, a national-class runnerand respected sportswriter,once recalled: “175 cm talland some 60 kilos in weight,Katz had a peculiar rockingstyle of running − perhapsdue <strong>to</strong> a lack of muscularpower − but he had more gutsthan most of his rivals.”Katz earned the title of“the Jewish Faavo Nurmi. In1921, he defeated Nurmi − achampion at the 1920 AntwerpGames − for the first and onlytime, in the 1,500 meters at theFinnish championships.By 1924, Katz was a risingstar. He <strong>to</strong>ok second in the3,000-meter steeplechase atthe Olympic trials in S<strong>to</strong>ckholmand finished third in the3,000-meter race. His greatestmoment followed thatsummer in Paris. He placedsecond in the steeplechasebehind Ville Ri<strong>to</strong>la, who set aworld record.Two laps before the finishline in the steeplechase, Katztripped on a hurdle and fellCourtesy of Sports Museum of FinlandKatz, right, running in an Olympic trial behind Nurmi, left, in 1920.in<strong>to</strong> fifth place. He was angrywith himself and began chasingthe others. “Katz alwayshas a good finish,” wrote MarttiJukola. “His friendly smilehas gone now. Giving his all,he finally passes his rivals,taking his well-earned silverin 9:40.0.”In the team run, each countryhad five representativesand were ranked by its <strong>to</strong>pthree finishers. Katz <strong>to</strong>okthird behind Nurmi and Ri<strong>to</strong>la<strong>to</strong> help Finland claim gold.Katz, a proud Jew, moved<strong>to</strong> Berlin after the Olympicsin order <strong>to</strong> train with a smallJewish club called Bar-Kochba.The club soon became amagnet for Jewish athletes.The Finns saw his departureas a loss and wanted him<strong>to</strong> return.

Eventually theweekly was privatized, thoughit was still edited and supervisedby Education Ministryofficials. At first it was publishedunder the auspices ofthe Davar newspaper, alongwith the Jerusalem Post, butin the past decade, a YediothAharonoth subsidiary was responsiblefor its publication.The newspaper has longserved Hebrew language ulpanclasses in this country, aswell as overseas students. Itwas read in university classroomsoverseas, and by elderlypersons and young studentsfrom Israel’s Arab sec<strong>to</strong>r. Theweekly turned in<strong>to</strong> a symbol ofimmigration <strong>to</strong> Israel and ofthe revival of the Hebrew language;it featured simple Hebrewsyntax, diacritic marksand a fixed vocabulary − in aneffort <strong>to</strong> make Hebrew accessible<strong>to</strong> immigrants <strong>to</strong> Israeland <strong>to</strong> lovers of the ancientlanguage overseas.The decision <strong>to</strong> end publicationwas not a pedagogicone. In fact, there was notactually a single, official decision<strong>to</strong> pull the paper fromnewsstands and Hebrew classrooms.Its cessation is the resul<strong>to</strong>f an unanswered tenderoffer, and has been describedas a “bureaucratic failure” byministry officials, and by others.“Under terms describedin the last tender offer forrights <strong>to</strong> publish the weekly,nobody was prepared <strong>to</strong> takeresponsibility for the publication,”explains a source whois well informed about thenewspaper’s demise. “Nobodymade a tender offer.”The Education Ministryhad published the tender inhopes of handing over responsibilityfor editing the easyHebrew weekly. Now that thenewspaper’s publication hasceased and its reporters havebeen dismissed, the ministryis seeking <strong>to</strong> revive connectionswith Yedioth Shurot, theYedioth Aharonoth subsidiarythat published the weekly forthe past 10 years. “On its owninitiative, Yedioth sent warnings<strong>to</strong> the ministry about whatwas liable <strong>to</strong> happen <strong>to</strong> Sha’arLa’matchil, but the ministryignored them and did nothinguntil it was <strong>to</strong>o late,” thesource added.“Yesterday I left my officeat Yedioth Aharonoth awarethat the chances of my returning<strong>to</strong> it are negligible,”wrote Tzipi Mazar, Sha’arLa’matchil’s edi<strong>to</strong>r for the past16 years, in a letter she sent<strong>to</strong> her colleagues. Mazar, whowas employed by the EducationMinistry, continued, “Asa last gesture in a buildingwhere I worked for ten years,I met with a maintenance staffworker, who asked my why weare leaving. I answered with awave of the hand that suggested‘I have no answer <strong>to</strong> that.’The worker then launched in<strong>to</strong>a monologue − it’s unfortunatethat I didn’t record it so that Ican play it for the educationminister and other ministry officials.‘What’s this idiocy,’ shesaid. ‘Why doesn’t anyone careabout those who can’t read Hebrewfluently and who don’tknow how <strong>to</strong> work with a computer?This is wrong! And howare children going <strong>to</strong> be taughtin school <strong>to</strong> read a newspaper?And new immigrants?”“I had the privilege <strong>to</strong> editthis unique weekly for manyyears,” Mazar concluded.“Our work is not finished − ourcommitment remains!” TheEducation Ministry said in astatement, “Because nobodymade an offer, the tender had<strong>to</strong> be changed. This requiresthe approval of the ministry’stender committee, which isa procedure that takes time.The ministry is determined<strong>to</strong> issue a new tender and assurethe publication of Sha’arLa’matchil. It should be emphasizedthat once the resultsof the old tender becameknown, the ministry’s direc<strong>to</strong>rgeneralsent an order <strong>to</strong> issue anew tender without delay. Inthe meantime, the ministryasked the previous franchisee,Yedioth Shurot, <strong>to</strong> go on printingthe paper until a new franchiseeis found.”HEBREWContinued from page A1

A8 | HAARETZCapital MarketIDB Development tapping leverage funds for cashThe liquidity-hungry holdings group poised <strong>to</strong> wrap up sale of Mashav <strong>to</strong> the Livnat familyBy Michael RochvargerAlthough it’s poised <strong>to</strong>complete the sale of certainkey assets, the liquidity-hungryIDB group is also turning<strong>to</strong> the MEnora insurancegroup and <strong>to</strong> the Bereshit leveragefund for cash.Group company IDB Developmenthas reached advancedstages of negotiating<strong>to</strong> borrow up <strong>to</strong> NIS 150 millionfrom the Bereshit leveragefund and another NIS150 million from the MenoraMivtachim Holdings group.It is also holding talks withseveral foreign banks for anadditional NIS 300 million incredit, according <strong>to</strong> the company’scash flow forecast,published last month with its2011 results.The IDB group’s precariousfinancial position is forcingits controlling owner,Nochi Dankner, <strong>to</strong> seek outfunding sources <strong>to</strong> ensurethat the group can make goodon its estimated tens of billionsof shekels in liabilities<strong>to</strong> banks and bondholders.IDB Development hasbeen beset by a substantialdecline in the ability <strong>to</strong> drawdividends from its underlyingcompanies, lack of access<strong>to</strong> Israel’s banking systemdue <strong>to</strong> single borrower limitations(a bank can only lendso much of its capital <strong>to</strong> asingle borrowing group), andthe inability <strong>to</strong> rollover itsbond debt − considering thehigh yields ‏(‎11%‎‏) at whichthey are now trading.The Bereshit and Menoraloans will carry 7% annualinterest with average durationsof 4.5 years, and will besecured by options on sharesof IDB subsidiaries DiscountInvestment Corp., Clal InsuranceEnterprises Holdings,David GiloTomer AppelbaumNochi Dankner, controlling shareholder of the IDB group, center, shaking hands with Avraham “Bondi” Livnat on the sale of Mashav. On the right: Zvi Livnat.and Clal Industries and Investments,at prices currentlyout of the money.Another possibility beingexplored is having the lendersissued bonds that wouldbe convertible in<strong>to</strong> sharesof these subsidiaries, withthe ratio between credit andsecurities expected <strong>to</strong> reach150%.Putting up a good fight“IDB’s ability <strong>to</strong> arrangesources of cash is impressive,”said a capital marketsource this week in response<strong>to</strong> the news.“On one occasion Danknerbrings his associates in<strong>to</strong> anIDB Holding share issue, onanother he harnesses foreignbanks, and now a leveragefund. Turning <strong>to</strong> a leveragefund offends Dankner’s ego,but he apparently graspsthat in the current situation− with the net asset valueof IDB Holding scratchingminus NIS 3 billion − moneyhas no smell, and that heneeds <strong>to</strong> roll up his sleevesand buy time, even at a highcost, in order <strong>to</strong> survive. ToDankner’s credit it can besaid that he and his team arefighting, and we hope IDBmanages <strong>to</strong> get by without adebt settlement.”In the optimistic scenarioof market recovery and a risein the value of shares used assecurity, the lenders couldenjoy double-digit returns of10% <strong>to</strong> 13% − like the yields<strong>to</strong> maturity at which someof IDB Development’s bondseries are trading. It stillisn’t known whether Menorawill put up the loan from thefunds it manages on behalfof its cus<strong>to</strong>mers or from itsown proprietary accounts.IDB Development has NIS4.3 billion in bond liabilities,and if the deal with Bereshitand Menora goes throughit would ostensibly betterthe position of its shorttermbonds in relation <strong>to</strong> thelengthier bonds, because ofthe security backing; but itdoesn’t seem that holders ofthe latter could object. IDBDevelopment bonds barelyreacted <strong>to</strong> the unfolding dealthis week.“A leverage fund likeBereshit or Menora couldbuy IDB Holding bonds inthe market at a higher 18%yield, but then the questionarises of what would bebetter: <strong>to</strong> hold bonds whicharen’t certain <strong>to</strong> be paid infull, or <strong>to</strong> hold securities thatcould generate handsomereturns in the future,” said ahigh-level capital market opera<strong>to</strong>rMonday.The leverage funds arefinancial entities establishedabout three years ago, withgovernment cooperation,<strong>to</strong> help companies that arestruggling <strong>to</strong> recycle theirdebts. This investment is expected<strong>to</strong> be among the lastfor Bereshit, which so farhas 18 deals for extendingcredit under its belt and hasreceived a <strong>to</strong>tal of over NIS1.6 billion in s<strong>to</strong>cks. The fundhas invested in shares anddebt of the Ashtrom group,Israel Petrochemical Enterprises,ECI Telecom, and AspenGroup, among others.Bereshit is headed byGabriel Perel, former CEOof Clal Insurance subsidiaryClal Finance investmenthouse. Like other insurancecompanies, Menora has recentlybeen expanding itsactivity in extending businesscredit through privateloans. Menora’s investmentsare under the managemen<strong>to</strong>f Yoni Tal.Liquid assets ofNIS 885 million, loans ofNIS 2.3 billionIDB Development reportedhaving NIS 885 million inliquid assets at the beginningof the year, stating that par<strong>to</strong>f these must be maintainedas safety cushions <strong>to</strong> meet financialcovenants on NIS 2.3billion in loans it <strong>to</strong>ok on.Financial Marketsהוראות לעידכון התאריך:‏1. עדכון התאריך ב-‏‎3‎ השטחים2. בחירת כלי חץ שחור )F1(.3 בחירה מהתפריט:‏ File > Export4. בחירה באופציה PDF ‏)זה בדרך כלל נמצא במצב הזה(.‏5. החלפת הקובץ בקודם .)iht.pdf(The company needs <strong>to</strong> layout NIS 1.5 billion this year<strong>to</strong> banks, bondholders, andother credi<strong>to</strong>rs, along witha similar sum expected in2013. To meet these financialhurdles, IDB Development isattempting <strong>to</strong> take a numberof measures, but chances oftheir successful completionare uncertain.The company expects liquidresources <strong>to</strong> increase byNIS 31 million from managementfee and interest income.It also anticipates these <strong>to</strong>increase by NIS 392 million,with completion of the saleof its 13% stake in Koor Industriesat market value − ifKoor’s merger in<strong>to</strong> DiscountInvestment is completed.

Page 11Taking S<strong>to</strong>ck / Guy RolnikAfter 64 years,real independenceIndependence Day istraditionally the season forthe press <strong>to</strong> recount Israel’smiraculous achievementsover its brief his<strong>to</strong>ry. Theypraise Jewish genius, recallthe country’s academicand cultural accomplishments,trace the vic<strong>to</strong>riesof its high-tech industry andtell the s<strong>to</strong>ries of the entrepreneursand leaders whohave dedicated their lives <strong>to</strong>making the country a betterplace.But in recent years the realityhas grown ever-distantfrom the image marketed<strong>to</strong> the public on IndependenceDay. The public sec<strong>to</strong>r’scompetitiveness andsophistication has eroded;high-tech operates insidea bubble and can’t supportthe broader economy; smallcliques of capitalists, thepolitically powerful and themedia run the country andthe business sec<strong>to</strong>r; inequalitydigs its roots ever deeper;and the human capital onwhich the economy’s futurerelies is deteriorating.The grip on our politics,resources and economicpolicy held by a small powerelite of tycoons, unions representingworkers in monopolyindustries and bigbusiness has made the celebrationof “independence”something of an irony. Onlya few hundred thousandIsraelis enjoy true independenceand equality of opportunity.They’re the ones whohave gained access <strong>to</strong> thepublic purse, control publicresources and belong <strong>to</strong>powerful monopolies.Still, for the first time inmany years, IndependenceDay can be seen as a trueeconomic and social celebrationfor all its citizens.It marks the end of a year inwhich a true independencemovement finally emergedfor Israelis who have neverhad access <strong>to</strong> power and influence.It’s a movement that isneither right nor left. It refuses<strong>to</strong> invest all its hopesin keeping the occupied terri<strong>to</strong>riesor returning them<strong>to</strong> the Palestinians. It isn’tconcerned about strengtheningreligious observanceor weakening it. It doesn’tfit the empty stereotypesof socialist or capitalist. It’sa movement that promotesfairness, integrity, equalityand opportunity for all.The Israel independencemovement has made significantgains in the lastseveral months, most importantlyby putting a brakeon the relentless expansionof oligarchism and tycoonismwhile clearing awaythe political and securitysmokescreen that benefiteda small and privileged elite.But the movement’s greatestaccomplishment was <strong>to</strong>raise the consciousness ofhundreds of thousands ofpeople who for years blindlyaccepted the system of aself-serving elite. They finallyunderstand that theexisting situation isn’t a faitaccompli dictated by the difficultreality of a small countryin a bad neighborhood.By rejecting long-heldideas, the Israeli people wontheir conceptual independence.Here are a few examplesof ideas entering theash heap of his<strong>to</strong>ry.Israel as an economicmiracle. Many sec<strong>to</strong>rsof the economy performpoorly, the educational systemis in steep decline, andincome inequality is amongthe highest in the developedworld. Two or three yearsago, most Israelis were inthe dark about these numbers.Those who might haveknown better were benefitingfrom a system even as itwas becoming increasinglydysfunctional.A growing economymeans a better life. In Israel,as in the United States,it is becoming increasinglyclear that it’s not just howbig the pie is getting but howit is divided up and what arethe ingredients.It’s either capitalism orsocialism. The battles overthe years between the supportersof these two greateconomic doctrines helpedensure the continuance ofthe existing system. Nowthese hollow doctrines arebeing replaced by ideas ofequality of opportunity;inclusion; enterprise; andother values.Peace will solve all ourproblems. Suddenly, Israelisrealize that the peaceprocess that has been underwayfor decades is controlledby a tiny elite thatbenefits from the existingeconomic situation. Could itbe that our military, politicaland business leaders needthe “process” more than asolution?The press is free and independent.We know this becausejournalists routinelycriticize politicians andexpose their misdeeds. Ordo we? Suddenly, hundredsof thousands of Israelisunderstand that individualpoliticians are ineffectualand unimportant. Wherethe press fails is regardingpeople with real economicand political power.Inequality is due <strong>to</strong> Haredim,Arabs, globalizationand technology. The economistJames K. Galbraithpublished a book this month,“Inequality and Instability:A Study of the World EconomyJust Before the GreatCrisis.” It takes apart thethesis that attributes growinginequality <strong>to</strong> globalizationand technology. Instead,he argues, it’s the expansionof the global financial system,which is structured <strong>to</strong>enrich the minority at theexpense of the rest. Herein Israel, the people are beingliberated from the notionthat the ultra-Orthodoxand insufficient investmentin education are creatingsocial gaps. Israelis nowunderstand that we have aneconomic system that preservesthe advantages of asmall minority both in thepublic and private sec<strong>to</strong>rs.The big parties are ideologicallydifferent. Most ofour political parties want<strong>to</strong> preserve the economicstatus quo. Some of themdo that by backing privatesec<strong>to</strong>r monopolies, andeven strengthening them,while others want <strong>to</strong> do thesame for public sec<strong>to</strong>r monopolies.Not one party hasproposed a program of realchange for those who don’thave an in <strong>to</strong> the system orcan exploit the magic ofdebt and deficits.That’s the good news forevery Israeli, particularlythose standing outside thecorridors of power. The daywill come when even thoseon the inside will understandthat they need <strong>to</strong> encouragethe movement, because onlyindependence, freedom,enterprise, fairness andequality of opportunity willachieve sustainable prosperityfor the country andits people.By Avi Bar-Eliand Itai TrilnickIsrael’s Leading Business NewspaperDollarEuro3.758 -0.16%Electric Corp. urgentlyseeking new gas supplierNeeds 5-month s<strong>to</strong>pgap until Israeli gas starts flowing* Estimated25*Needing <strong>to</strong> fill the energyvoid left by the Egyptians cancelingthe sale of natural gas <strong>to</strong>Israel, the Israel Electric Corporationis trolling the worldfor a new source. The IEC haspublished an international tenderfor purchase of importedliquefied natural gas, hoping<strong>to</strong> start buying as much as $700million <strong>to</strong> $850 million worthon December 1, 2012.The plan is for up <strong>to</strong> 16huge LNG tankers, each holding130,000 cubic meters ofLNG, <strong>to</strong> dock at a Cypriot port,where the gas would be unloadedon<strong>to</strong> a vessel the IECwould lease from the Americanfirm Excelerate Energy.This ship would unload at anew offshore gateway some 10kilometers off the coast nearHadera. This $130 million buoyis now under construction bythe Italian firm Micoperi, andis supplied by the Norwegianfirm APL. Government-ownedIsrael Natural Gas Lines isoverseeing the project, as wellas the construction of the networkof natural gas pipelinesand the transport of gas acrossthe country.The winner of the tenderwill commit <strong>to</strong> supplying twoships a month for five months.This is a relatively short periodof time for such a tender; originalexpectations were that itwould run at least two years.But the five-month cut-offmatches forecasts that naturalgas will start flowing in April2013 from the Tamar offshoregas field. The IEC would havean option <strong>to</strong> extend the LNGcontract for up <strong>to</strong> six moreships of gas through 2013.The first shipment wouldmost likely come from Excelerateitself, though theIEC board still has not approvedthe leasing deal withthe American company. Theworld’s largest LNG shippersare expected <strong>to</strong> participate inthe tender, including energygiants such as BP, Chevron,Gazprom and Spain’s Repsol.Ten companies answered theIEC’s original request for informationprocessing at thestart of the year.Participating firms were required<strong>to</strong> prove their capability<strong>to</strong> meet the tender’s conditions,including ownership ofLNG tankers able <strong>to</strong> carry outship-<strong>to</strong>-ship transfers of gaswith Excelerate’s special gass<strong>to</strong>rage ships. The deal withExcelerate is being conductedwithout a tender as the Americanfirm is the world’s onlyone with the necessary floatinggas transfer capabilities.The Energy and WaterResources Ministry’s NaturalGas Authority recentlyannounced that the ship willbe leased for four years, butthe contract can be cut short,though that would increase thelease’s annual cost.The price of LNG in theMediterranean basin standsat $14-$15 per million BTU.The state is expected <strong>to</strong> addanother one or two dollarsper million BTU <strong>to</strong> cover thecost of the gas transfer shipleases, estimated at $80 millionper year. The final priceof the LNG is expected <strong>to</strong> fallbetween $15 <strong>to</strong> $18 per millionBTU.This is a relatively highprice compared <strong>to</strong> what theIEC's fuel contracts18-15 * 5.3 5.64.5*2.75 Year of agreementTshuva threatens <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>psupporting Delek Real EstateBy Michael Rochvargerand Shelly AppelbergFollowing a frustrating round of talks withDelek Real Estate bondholders yesterday,company owner Yitzhak Tshuva threatened<strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p funding the company beginning onMay 6.Tshuva sent the warning in a letter <strong>to</strong> bondholders,<strong>to</strong> whom Delek Real Estate owes NIS2.15 billion.The company had all but closed a new arrangementwith holders of its B4 and B5 bonds,but the holders of the company’s B25 bondsbalked at the proposal, which wouldhave entailed a haircut of around 50%.The B25 bondholders then suedfor the company’s liquidation,as they had threatened <strong>to</strong> do −and the company announcedthat it would not opposethe motion, warningthough that it wouldentail a haircut ofabout 92%. ThisItzik Ben MalkiJust before Passover, PrimeMinister Benjamin Netanyahuyanked his bill popularlyknown as the “balconiesreform.” It was an importantproposal that he’d been workingon for some time. Its aimwas <strong>to</strong> simplify and shortenthe process of obtaining buildingpermits and constructionso contrac<strong>to</strong>rs could hurryup and build housing, therebylowering housing prices.Netanyahu vowed <strong>to</strong> usethe Passover break <strong>to</strong> finishthe job, but if anything’s beenfinished, it’s apparently hisreform. That’s because beforePassover, Shas and YisraelBeiteinu clashed. Shas hatedthe idea of means testing as acriterion for government subsidiesfor housing. Yisrael Beiteinufought for the idea.Families with a least onebreadwinner and anothermember working a quartertimejob would have had anmeans that credi<strong>to</strong>rs, including the bondholders,would stand <strong>to</strong> lose some 92% of theirmoney. Now Tshuva has vowed <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p fundingfrom May 6.The B4 bondholders are owed NIS 150 million;B5 bondholders are owed NIS 1.4 billionand some NIS 600 million is owed <strong>to</strong> the B25bondholders.Yesterday representatives of all the bondholdersmet yet again with company representatives.The purpose of the meeting hadbeen <strong>to</strong> agree on a formula for setting interestrates on the NIS 1.3 billion innew bonds Delek Real Estatewould issue if‏) it survivesthe ‏.(process But the partiescould not bridge theirgaps and Tshuva refused<strong>to</strong> cover the difference ou<strong>to</strong>f pocket. Meanwhile, inany case, the legal processof the company’sliquidation continues,which could renderYitzhak Tshuva these talks moot.advantage over families withno breadwinner. Shas, beinga Haredi party, opposed theconcept because of the manyHaredi families in which thehusband does not work. YisraelBeiteinu on the other handcares about middle-class familieswho work and pay taxesbut can’t afford <strong>to</strong> buy a home.Since Netanyahu didn’twant <strong>to</strong> cross either of his allies,he simply gave up his preciousreform before the Passoverbreak, when he wouldhave time <strong>to</strong> think of anothersolution. But none emerged.The issue at stake, though, ishugely important. Affordablehousing is the heart of the “socialjustice” protests.When itturns out that Haredi familiesare getting most of the 5,000homes the government has decided<strong>to</strong> build, the protests arelikely <strong>to</strong> flare up anew, whichis bad for Netanyahu.Meanwhile Shas has prevailed.The Israel Lands Administrationaccepted therecommendations of HousingMinister Ariel Atias, a keymember of Shas. His criteriagive a clear advantage <strong>to</strong>Haredim and “means testing”isn’t even mentioned.Yesterday Harel Locker,direc<strong>to</strong>r-general of the PrimeMinister’s Office, achieved acompromise with Fania Kirshenbaumof Yisrael Beiteinu,but it’s a smokescreen.

Thelocal traders strive <strong>to</strong> expandtheir business in Israel, theirbiggest market. But obstaclesabound, and they’ve been gettingworse, traders say.According <strong>to</strong> Bank of Israelfigures, exports fromthe West Bank <strong>to</strong> Israel, or<strong>to</strong> other countries via Israel,slowed last year. Tradebetween Israel and the PAamounts <strong>to</strong> about $3 billiona year. The Israeli economyhardly depends on this business;the Palestinians dependon it a lot more.How will I eversee the sea?Anan Tamam is the co-CEOof Karawan; he representsthe fourth generation makingthe famous Karawan tahinisesame paste. The companysells 70% of its product <strong>to</strong>Israel, and much of the other30% goes <strong>to</strong> Israeli Arabsshopping in Nablus on theweekends.Karawan has no less than200 clients in central andnorthern Israel, and maintainsa huge distributioncenter in Kafr Kara. “FelafelGivatayim can order 1,000<strong>to</strong>ns of tahini a week,” saysTamam. “Israelis love our tahiniand we love selling it <strong>to</strong>them.”To expand business evenfurther, the company is nowin the Palestinian businessdirec<strong>to</strong>ry and Tamam is seekinga distribu<strong>to</strong>r for southernIsrael. But it isn’t so straightforward.“Israel is raising allsorts of obstacles,” Tamamsays.“All these years we boughtcontainers from an Israelimanufacturer. We got qualitycontainers and he had agood client. Recently problemshave been arising at thecrossing point. Suddenly wecan’t get through one or twopallets: We have <strong>to</strong> bring ina whole container. Why? Because.“We don’t have anywhere <strong>to</strong>s<strong>to</strong>re all those containers. Wehad no choice but <strong>to</strong> start buyingcontainers from a manufacturerin Nablus. True, itisn’t the same quality, but thecontainers are perfectly serviceable,they’re cheaper andI can give work <strong>to</strong> the localmarket.”Tamam would have preferred<strong>to</strong> keep buying the Israelicontainers, but he can’t.“Israel is forcing us <strong>to</strong> buyless from it,” he says.Traditionally, Karawanbought its sesame seeds fromIsrael. Again, because of problemsat the crossing points,Tamam realized he had <strong>to</strong> findanother source; for instance,Ethiopia. So although he badlywanted <strong>to</strong> expand businesswith Israelis, Tamam decidedhe couldn’t rely on the Israelimarket alone.“We’re checking other markets,in the Gulf countries,where there’s a lot of sympathyfor Palestinian products,”says Tamam.Essentially you’re saying Israelis pushing you <strong>to</strong> developyour entrepreneurial spirit: <strong>to</strong>seek new markets, <strong>to</strong> expandyour basket of products.“Yes, but we’re doing itunder duress. Recently mypermit <strong>to</strong> enter Israel wasrevoked. Why? Because. Mymother and father have permits,I don’t.

But my profitmargins are small. In Israel,people want <strong>to</strong> earn more.”He has a certain advantageover Elite: He pays hisworkers NIS 100 or NIS 120a day.Maslamani is sure he couldexpand his sales in Israel by30%. “My father started doingbusiness with Israel aweek after the Six-Day War,”he recalls. “The big tradersnever s<strong>to</strong>pped working withus because trade is trade,and relations are better thanpeople think. We work likepartners. It’s almost likefamily, and with family, onehas <strong>to</strong> be reliable. We alwayspay on time. We didn’t haveproblems during the intifada,either. This is more thaneconomic peace: This is truepeace between people.”Yet you don’t rely on theIsraeli market alone as youused <strong>to</strong>.“Because I have no choice.I’d like <strong>to</strong> expand businesswith Israel, not, say, withTurkey or Arab countries.But what’s killing us is transportcosts. I could charge30% less if I didn’t have <strong>to</strong>work ‘back <strong>to</strong> back’ − send atruck <strong>to</strong> the Palestinian sideof the border, unload thegoods, and reload them on adifferent truck on the Israeliside, and that’s without eventalking about sacks that get<strong>to</strong>rn or merchandise thatgets wasted.”In the past, sending a truckladen with goods <strong>to</strong> Israel ‏(orin the other ‏(direction wouldcost NIS 1,600.

The solution, hesays, is security technologythat would scan the wholetruck, not just one containerat a time. “It would be goodfor both parties,” Maslamanisays. “Everybody wouldwin.”If things get worse, wouldyou consider not workingwith Israel at all?“No! It’s a disgrace <strong>to</strong> evenask that question. We live <strong>to</strong>getherhere and will continueliving <strong>to</strong>gether, and doingbusiness <strong>to</strong>gether.

Egypt’s ambassador<strong>to</strong> Israel, Yasser Rida, alsostressed that the decision <strong>to</strong>cancel the deal was not a politicalone.The Egyptian governmentcompany EGAS had been supplyingnatural gas <strong>to</strong> Israelthrough Eastern MediterraneanGas, in which Israeli firmAmpal owns a 12.5% stake.Sun- On ‏(.‏s<strong>to</strong>ry See‏) followingday, EGAS unilaterally terminatedthe agreement, after noless than 14 sabotage attackson the pipeline since February2011, when Hosni Mubarak’sregime came <strong>to</strong> an end.This year, Israel has receivedEgyptian gas on 25days and hasn’t received it on88 days.From February 2011, thegas supply has broken down70% of the time − 313 days.The agreement betweenEGAS, the Israeli governmentand EMG was signed in 2005,and Egyptian gas began <strong>to</strong> arrivein 2008. Until the Mubarakregime collapsed, Egypt suppliedabout 45% of Israel’s gas.The rest came from fields inthe Mediterranean Sea.Barak Ravid contributed <strong>to</strong>this report.The long-haul companywould use El Al’s new widebodyplanes, including Boeing777s.

Maybe it doesn’tA day after EGAS droppedits bombshell, unilaterally terminatingits gas supply agreementwith Israel, confusionreigns, as can be said of Egyptin general after the ArabSpring revolution. Israel’s reactionhas been marked by supremerestraint and caution.But why did EGAS, a governmentcompany, terminate thedeal anyway? Why now?The Egyptian oppositionhad railed against the agreementfor years. The pipelinehas been blown up 14 timesin the past year. There hasn’tbeen any gas supply for twomonths anyway.The official pretext is thatEMG, the company that formallyimports the gas, hasn’tpaid for the gas that was suppliedsince the first pipelineexplosion in February 2011;EGAS claims <strong>to</strong> be owed $56Bot<strong>to</strong>m shekel /Avi Bar-Elimillion, which EMG probablydoesn’t have the wherewithal<strong>to</strong> pay.The contract lays downa procedure in the event ofa dispute, and nonpaymentshouldn’t be grounds for unilateraltermination. But there2009741 17 73 1.2011 4.2012we’ll know more in the nextfew days,” she said.“There’s no question thatthis raises awareness in Israel,Egypt and the United Statesabout the problem, which isthat for more than a year, nearlyno gas has been exported<strong>to</strong> Israel, and Egypt’s governmentisn’t doing enough <strong>to</strong> protectthe pipeline. There’s noquestion that awareness willbring us <strong>to</strong> normalization.”Yesterday’s bondholdermeeting had been scheduledbefore EGAS’ announcement;it was being held so bondholderscould vote on a debt arrangement.The meeting endedwithout an agreement.Ampal has seen its shareprice fall 90% since the beginningof 2011. Its s<strong>to</strong>ck plungedare other issues. Suspicionshave been raised that corruptionmarred the initial contract,and EMG has been suingEgypt for compensation.Some say the war over responsibilityfor the initial contractbetween Cairo and theheads of the Egyptian gas andoil companies led the latter <strong>to</strong>seek shelter before the nextelection and‏) outcome of thearbitration with ‏.(EMG Theycreated a crisis severing‏) the‏(agreement and thereby put theball in the politicians’ court.That would explain the contradic<strong>to</strong>ryclamor from Egypt.Mohamed Shuaib, head of theEgyptian Natural Gas HoldingCompany, blames Israeli contractualviolations. Governmentsources say the militarygovernment had no part inthe decision. Yet by evening,other voices said Cairo wasprepared <strong>to</strong> open negotiationson a new agreement.Over in Israel, the ministersand Benjamin Netanyahuhimself said the developmentwas a mere “business dispute,”which is obtuse. The gasagreement had been backedby the bilateral treaty, wasperceived as such, and hasheavy implications for the Israelieconomy.

Ampal owes bondholdersNIS 900 million.Maiman isn’t the only onewho has lost big on Egyptiangas − Israel’s pension fundshave lost NIS 290 million ontheir investments in the pipeline.Most of that money was inpension and provident fundsowned by average citizens.“Investing in the EMG projectwas essentially an investmentin the peace between Israeland Egypt,” said a sourceat one of the institutional inves<strong>to</strong>rs.The country’s institutionalsbought a <strong>to</strong>tal of 4.4%of EMG’s shares from Maimanin 2007 for $90 million.Funds invested savers’money in the Egyptian gasproject both via Ampal bondsand directly via EMG.All <strong>to</strong>ld, the country’s institutionalinves<strong>to</strong>rs have lostNIS 290 million on this investment.For instance, insurancecompany Harel said it waswriting off its entire investmentin EMG. As of the end of2011, it had said its 1.2% holdingin EMG was worth NIS 54million, meaning the companywas valued at $1.2 billion. Harelinitially invested NIS 100 million.The latest announcementmeans Harel doesn’t expect <strong>to</strong>in Cairo last September andthe incessant attacks on thepipeline − so it can assure cooperationon security issues,which is more important.Essentially Jerusalem iscomplicit in burying the gasagreement for the sake ofother cooperative endeavors,but some people in the energyindustry and at the ministriesare uncomfortable about Jerusalem’sconduct. The Arabworld could see Israel’s <strong>to</strong>leranceof a blunt breach of anagreement as a weakness.“If Israel doesn’t kick upa fuss and rope in the Americans,and doesn’t deliver amessage that agreements don’tget any of that back.The write-off will have littleimpact on the insurer’s financials,Harel said. It has NIS34 billion under management,which makes a NIS 100 millionwrite-off minor.In 2007, shortly before thegas exports began, the IsraelInfrastructure Fund, ownedby Harel ‏(‎40%‎‏) and others, organizedan investment in EMGbased on a market cap of $2.2billion.
