1. (C) Due to the Passover Holiday, the GOI has opted not to
attend the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism
(GICNT) workshop and Exercise Planning Group (EPG) meeting
hosted by the Republic of Korea in Seoul, April 14-16.
According to MFA Arms Control Department Officer Israel
Tikochinski, the GOI is reluctant to send experts from
Jerusalem to attend the meetings which fall on the last days
of the Passover holiday. Moreover, the Israeli embassy in
Seoul also will be closed during this period, and therefore
will be unable to cover the meetings for the GOI.
Tikochinski reiterated the GOI's strong commitment to the
GICNT, noting that the GOI is considering participation in
GICNT workshops in Australia and Morocco in May and June
2009. Tikochinski discussed these issues with polmiloff on
March 30.
