Eban lauds Israel's huge success
• The former Israeli foreign
minister gave his views on the
state he helped establish during
a lectu~e April 18 at Hancher.
By James Ashton
The Daily Iowan
The state oflsrael is a huge suc·
cess story, says Abba Eban, a for·
mer Israeli foreign minister.
"I do not believe anyone imagined
that Israel today, 50 years after its
very embattled and solitary emergence,
would have the kind of manpower,
the kind of technological
excellence, or would have the distinction
of being able to call itself the
leading regional power in the Middle
East: said Eban, who spoke before
more than 1,000 people at Hancher
Auditorium Saturday night.
Eban, 83, spent 30 years working
for the Israeli government in vari·
ous key roles, including ambassador
to the United States, deputy prime
minister and foreign minister. He is
also noted as one of the founders of
the modem state ofIsrael.
"Without survival, there would
be no stability, and Israel has man·
aged to overcome most of the forces
that were directed against its exis·
tence," he said.
Third-year law student Saladin
Aljurf said that Eban was champi·
oning one side of a very complex
argument.
Aljurf traveled to Palestine in
1996 to act as an interpreter for UI
law Prpfessor Adrien Wing, who
advised the Palestinian government
on the drafting of its constitution.
"I suppose it depends on what perspective
you are coming from -
Israel is a success for Eastern Jews
persecuted by the Holocaust, but one
factor often neglected by the Western
media is that this state was created
at the expense of hundreds of thousands
of Palestinians," Aljurfsaid.
Eban also spoke of Israel's inti·
mate relations with the United
States: "So intimate, in fact, that
the U.S. has given very strong sup·
port to all the Israeli moves for
regional integration - that is to
say peace - between Israel and its
Palestinian neighbors:
Aljurf agreed.
"They have a strong role, but
there is not much more they can do
as far as pressing Israel to strive
for a realistic peace," he said.
Eban said the role of the United
States in Israel is at least as active
as it was in aiding the peace deal in
Ireland.
"We can learn from the Irish
peace agreement - if their problem
can be solved, then there is no conflict
in the world that cannot be
solved," he said.
On the future of the Middle East
peace process, Eban said he had not
despaired of the current suggested
formula.
"The best thing that can be done
is to accept the formula that
Madeleine Albright propo ed, and
this is still a subject that is being
resolved by the Israeli people
today," he said.
But he refused to elaborate when
asked for his predictions on how
the political quagmire would work
itself out.
"I deduced very early on not to be
a prophet in Israel; for one thing,
there is too much competition, and
people who try have got themselves
into trouble before," he said.
