Arab Affairs Expert
Is New Info Officer

Special to The Jewish News

srael's image as a free,
democratic country has
taken a severe battering
since the beginning of the
uprising in the territories
nearly two years ago.
Right-wing politicians and
some sectors of the Israeli
public have put the blame
for Israel's decline in the in-
ternational popularity
stakes entirely on the
shoulders of the camera-
toting foreign press.
For their part, foreign
journalists have attacked
censorship, the closing of
regions by military orders,
and what some have
described as "the
stereotyped statements"
that the army and govern-
mental bodies issue to the
press.
The tension has led on oc-
casion to verbal and,
sometimes, physical clashes
between reporters and
security forces, and between
settlers and journalists.
The person responsible for
handling these and other
matters is the director of the
Government Press Office.
He has the difficult and
often thankless task of walk-
ing the diplomatic tightrope,
between press freedom and
government interests.
Yoram Ettinger held that
position until his recent dip-
lomatic appointment to
Washington. The job has
now been filled by Dr. Yossi
Olmert, brother of Likud
Member of Knesset Ehud
Olmert.
At first glance, Yossi
Olmert, an academician,
_historian and Arab affairs
analyst might appear a
strange choice to fill such a
demanding task,
spearheading what in effect
is the government's pro-
paganda machine.
Olmert, 39, the youngest of
famous sons, whose father
was a Herut Party Knesset
member in the 1950s sees
the situation differently.
"I appreciate the appoint-
ment because I feel it is im-
portant for every Israeli
government to include peo-
ple from the academic
world," said Olmert.
He sees his task as three-
fold:
"My first big mission is to
work with the foreign press
in Israel and abroad. It is not
my intention, however, to
attempt to educate or re-
orient them, or to adopt a

dogmatic, doctrinaire ap-
proach.
"First, I want to assess
how our office can help the
foreign press carry out its job
as successfully and smoothly
as possible.
"My second task, as I see
it, will be to demonstrate to
the foreign press that the
Government Press Office
can and will be a good source
of newsworthy information
and data which can be of
immense value to them.
"Thirdly, I want to try and
broaden the agenda of the
foreign press in terms of em-
phasis on reporting matters
from Israel. The uprising in
the territories is one area
where I feel the spectrum of
discussion can be broaden-
ed," he said.
"One gets the impression,
especially in the West, that
because of the emphasis on

"One gets the
impression,
especially in the
West, that
because of the
emphasis on the
uprising, the
intifada is the only
problem in the
Middle East."

the uprising, the intifada is
the only problem in the Mid-
dle East, or certainly the
only problem confronting
Israel in terms of security
and strategic standing,"
Olmert said. "This simply
isn't true, especially when
you bear in mind the arms
race in the Middle East and
the potential dangers posed
to Israel by countries such as
Syria, Iraq and Libya.
"The emphasis on the
uprising impacts un-
favorably on Israel and in-
ternational attitudes regar-
ding the Palestinian issue.
In this context, Israel ap-
pears much stronger than
the Palestinians, and people
therefore expect the stronger
side to be conciliatory to the
underdogs," he said.
How does Olmert propose
to direct attention to other
matters? "The Government
Press Office will strive to
give the foreign reporters in-
centives," he replied, declin-
ing to give details.
Does Olmert subscribe to
the view that the foreign
press in general is pro-
Palestinian? "I can't deny
that some journalists may be
