The Israel Medical Association approached me after they had been asked by the World Health Organization to provide a specialist in infection control to join a delegation going to Turkey.

I've been involved in the specific field of infection control at the Rabin Medical Center for two years, so I was recommended. And in mid-January I flew with a team of doctors to eastern Turkey to provide training to Turkish officials in preparedness for avian flu control. Our team of six doctors from various countries provided training and implemented programs in Turkish hospitals that were aimed at preventing infectious diseases from spreading.

The world must see that Israel can stand on its own.

Israel in the World

It is as much an internal battle within the whole Arab world as a conflict with Israel.

It's an enduring dream of Jews all over the world to reconnect with Israel. It's their physical and spiritual home. We lower the hurdles for people who have the dream.
