¶1. (C) This is an action request. After consulting
appropriate offices in EUR, NEA approves Embassy,s proposed
course of action in reftel. Per reftel, Department requests
that Embassy Tel Aviv approach GOI at the appropriate level
to recommend the planned pathway be constructed so as to
bypass the primary Christian holy sites on the northern shore
of the Sea. Department also requests Embassy approach
appropriate Western embassies to gauge interest in similar
engagement with GOI and report results back to Washington.
