This agreement will increase the trade volume and promote business and financial cooperation between the two countries. This agreement is the basis of a Free Trade Area Agreement that the Foreign Ministry hope will be signed in the upcoming year.        ]]> http://www.dannyayalon.com/חדשות/454/ http://www.dannyayalon.com/חדשות/453/ http://www.dannyayalon.com/חדשות/450/ http://www.dannyayalon.com/חדשות/449/ http://www.dannyayalon.com/חדשות/448/ http://www.dannyayalon.com/חדשות/447/ http://www.dannyayalon.com/חדשות/446/ http://www.dannyayalon.com/חדשות/445/ http://www.dannyayalon.com/חדשות/442/
"Yisrael Beytenu congratulates the extension of the coalition and the wide National Government but expects that it will lead and implement civil reforms on the issues of equal obligations, electoral reform and other issues such as civil union of marriage and the easing of the conversion process".
Ayalon also added that "the first test of the new government is going to be the alternative law to "Tal Law". Yisrael Beytenu will not cooperate with a meaningless law and will not allow stalling of the issue".   On the issue of Iran –

"Israel is not optimistic about the second round of the talks with Iran in Bagdad. The international community has already conceded to Iran by allowing it to dictate the location of the talks". Ayalon explained "as you don't negotiate with a felon on the extent of his criminal acts, it is not logical that the international community will agree to a compromise with Iran on continuing enrichment and holding fissile substance".
Answering a question regarding the recent remarks by former senior defense officials Ayalon said that "these are unprofessional political remarks and they should be treated as such".      ]]> http://www.dannyayalon.com/חדשות/444/ http://www.dannyayalon.com/חדשות/440/ http://www.dannyayalon.com/חדשות/439/
"Today some 50% of Israel's residents are the same refugees from Arab countries and their progeny, who were fully integrated and who contributed to the establishment and development of the State of Israel. Just as the State of Israel absorbed the Jewish refugees, so the Arab refugees who left Mandatory Palestine should receive the same treatment, all the more in light of the establishment of the Palestinian Authority, the existence of which renders the continued existence of the Arab refugee camps unjustified."   Ayalon instructed all of Israel's missions abroad to persuade the world's parliamentarians to adopt a resolution recognizing the Jewish refugees from Arab states, just as the American Congress did by passing House Resolution 185 in 2008.   "I call upon all the world's enlightened nations to adopt moral, just resolutions like the United States' resolution 185 and thereby help bring an end to the conflict. Acknowledging and taking care of refugees is not just a matter of historic justice but also one that is valid based on UN Resolution 242."   The main points of the report and of the Deputy FM's guidelines for action gained overwhelming support from the organizations’ representatives, who also spoke at the conference. The representatives were grateful and excited that the State of Israel, led by the Foreign Ministry, is finally recognizing their refugee status and working to get the subject onto the Israeli and international agenda.   Zvi Gabay (former ambassador, and activist on the subject): "I congratulate the deputy foreign minister for his goodwill and his willingness to take action on this issue. For years I served in the Foreign Ministry under various ministers, and this is the first time that anyone has brought up the subject."   Meir Kahalon (chairman of the organizations of Jews from Arab countries and Iran): "The Jews from Arab nations are entitled to help and support, and I congratulate Danny Ayalon for taking the initiative after all these years that it didn’t happen."   Levana Zamir (on behalf of Egyptian Jewry): "I support your raising the subject at the United Nations and I urge you to call upon them not only to return the property but also to restore custody and ownership over the Jewish heritage sites and holy places. Your success is our success."   This report, which was specially prepared by the Deputy FM's political staff in cooperation with the National Security Council, is part of a whole array of operations being spearheaded by DFM Ayalon to raise international awareness of the issue. About six months ago, Ayalon submitted Israel's demands for recognizing the Jewish refugees from Arab states, based on Resolution 242, to the UN Council and also protested the UN refugee agency UNRWA's mandate, which perpetuates refugee status for the Palestinians rather than resolve it. At a press conference in Geneva, Ayalon launched the informative film clip, "The Truth about the Refugees," which garnered hundreds of thousands of views.   An international conference on the subject is slated to take place this coming summer, in collaboration with the Jewish organizations in Israel and worldwide, and all other parties involved in this subject.      Photo by Noa Arad, Deputy Foreign Minister's Bureau  ]]> http://www.dannyayalon.com/חדשות/437/
