here is a widespread
consensus among ca-
reer Israeli diplomats,
senior American officials,
prominent Jewish leaders and
others in Washington that
Ambassador Meir Rosenne
has received some rather un-
fair and shabby treatment in
recent days by Foreign
Minister Shimon Peres.
After serving 34 years in
the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, Rosenne was sum-
marily informed in early
March that he would have a
mere seven weeks to complete
his Washington assignment
and to return home by May 1.
He began to pack his bags.
On March 18, according to
informed sources, Rosenne
received a second message
from the Foreign Ministry in-
forming him that he could
stay in Washington until "one
day after" Israel's In-
dependence. Day, which this
year falls on May 6.
The Embassy in Washing-
ton annually holds a huge
reception for American
leaders on ,that day, and of-
ficials in Jerusalem belatedly
realized that Rosenne should
host that event. No new am-
bassador has yet been named.
The Ambassador, accord-
ing to informed sources,
began hasty preparations to
wind up his four year tour of
duty in Washington. For ex-
ample, he immediately can-
called plans to receive on May
17 a large delegation of pro-
minent American Jewish
political activists who were
planning to attend the annual
policy conference of the
American Israel Public Af-
fairs Committee (AIPAC), the
proIsraeli lobbying organiza-
tion on Capitol Hill.
Rosenne, a former envoy to
Paris who earlier spent
several years as the Foreign
Ministry's legal adviser,
would also have little time to
wind up a whole series of
ongoing negotiations with
U.S. officials involving some
very sensitive subjects, such
as the Pollard spy scandal
and the Iran arms affair
probe.
He was also in the midst of
delicate diplomatic talks with
his Soviet counterpart, Am-
bassador Yuri Dubinin, on
the details for an exchange of
Israeli and Soviet visits in-
volving "consular" issues.
Rosenne has held numerous
talks with the Soviets in re-
cent years, beginning with
Dubinin's predecessor, Anato-
ly Dobrynin who is today a
senior foreign policy adviser
to General-Secretary Mikhail
Gorbachev.
Despite those delicate
negotiations, Rosenne was
told to complete his activities.
He and his wife, Vera, also
realized that there would be
very little time left for the
usual round of farewell par-
ties and tributes always held
in honor of departing Israeli
ambassadors.
On March 29, Rosenne was
suddendly told to stay in
Washington until June 1,
presumably so that he could
be available to help receive
Foreign Minister Peres in the
U.S. capital. Peres is sched-
uled to address the AIPAC
meeting in mid-May and then
to meet with Secretary of
State George Shultz and
other U.S. officials.
"This is no way to treat
someone who has served
Israel so faithfully all of these
years," an Embassy diplomat
complained. "I've never seen
anything like this in all the
years I've served in the
Foreign Ministry."
Another Israeli official cal-
led it "a disgrace."
Rosenne, for his part, is
avoiding any comment.
After the Embassy an-
nounced that Rosenne would
be leaving Washington, the
American news media began
asking whether his return to
Jerusalem was somehow
related to the Pollard spy
scandal. But Rosenne and
other Israeli officials have
denied any connection.
Appearing on NBC's "Ta-
day Show," Rosenne was
asked why he was leaving. "I
have been here four years, and
before coming here, I spent
four years as ambassador to
France," he said. "So I have
been away from Israel eight
years now. It's quite a long
time. And quite an exception
because in the Israeli diplo-
matic service, you are abroad
between five and six years
only." ❑
