1. (C) Responding to reftel points, MFA Director for
Palestinian Economic Affairs Irit Ben-Abba told PolOff June
16 that FM Livni had decided to lead the Israeli delegation
to the June 24 Berlin Conference in support of Palestinian
Civil Police and Rule of Law. Ben-Abba said Livni would be
joined by MOD Senior Pol-Mil Advisor Oded Hermann and at
least one other person from each the Justice and Foreign
Ministries. She said Livni would not arrive in time for the
June 23 dinner. (Note: We understand the Secretary also
discussed the Berlin Conference with FM Livni during her
just-concluded visit to Jerusalem.)


2. (C) Oded Hermann told A/DCM and EconOff separately June
16 that Israel was determined to play a constructive role in
the Berlin Conference, and was developing papers and
providing comments to the Germans to that end. However, the
GOI was also concerned that the event might lead to a process
that unnecessarily duplicates the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee's
(AHLC) efforts.
