1. (S) Pol Couns delivered reftel points separately to MOD
Arab Affairs Advisor David Hacham and to MFA Deputy Director
General for the Middle East and Peace Process Yacov Hadas.
Both Hacham and Hadas received the points with great
interest, but neither had any substantive response, although
Hadas ventured the view that the equipment involved was
defensive in nature. As such, he doubted Israel would "have
any problem" with the ISF Transition Plan.
2. (S) DATT and ARMA also delivered reftel points to Colonel
Shimon Arad, IDF Head of Regional Strategy Department, J-5.
Arad was thankful for the information, noting it would be
useful.
