1. (SBU) Per reftel, the GOI reiterated plans to attend the
Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism (GICNT) Plenary
in The Hague in June 2009. According to MFA Arms Control
Advisor Israel Tikochinski, the GOI has not yet decided at
what level the GOI will attend the plenary. He noted that in
the past, the GOI typically sends representatives from the
MFA and the Israel Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC) to GICNT
meetings; he suggested the GOI will likely follow the same
course of action for the plenary. Tikochinski had no further
information regarding potential Israeli presentations at the
plenary, but noted the GOI will likely make a national
statement. He promised to pass on details regarding the size
and composition of the Israeli plenary delegation once a
decision has been made. Tikochinski also confirmed that the
GOI will attend the upcoming GICNT event in Morocco, and
addressed timing concerns regarding the proposed GICNT
workshop hosted by Israel in November (septel). Polmiloff
joined Counselor Yuri Rudakov from the Embassy of the Russian
Federation and First Secretary John van der Zande from the
Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in discussing these
issues with Tikochinski on May 6.
