"U.S. Shouldn't Interfere in Israeli Politics"
[Jerusalem Post] "It is not correct for Americans and American Jewish organizations to interfere in Israeli domestic politics," said Alan Solow, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, at a Jerusalem press conference Sunday. "We are confident that whatever government emerges here, the relations between Israel and the U.S. will remain strong," he said. "It is not appropriate for American Jews to tell Israel what government to form any more than it is for Israelis to tell us who to vote for in America," concurred Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents. The American Jewish leaders, in Israel after a tension-soothing meeting with the Pope in the Vatican, also called upon the U.S. administration to boycott the upcoming Durban II UN conference on racism.
