Since his arrival in 1987, Arad has been dogged by stories of internal conflict at the embassy and by sugges- tions that, because of the divided government in Jerusalem, the embassy in Washington had become more of a political battleground than a diplo- matic mission. In recent months, there were more and more reports of an embassy locked in fero- cious internal warfare bet- ween key officials. And increasingly, U.S.-Israeli diplomacy is bypassing the Israeli em- bassy here. The Israel government, according to several observers, regards the embassy in Washington primarily as a public rela- tions outpost and as the pivot point for relations bet- ween American Jews and the Israeli government. In recent years, the primary conduits for diplo- matic activity between the U.S. and Israel have been the American embassy in Tel Aviv and direct com- munication between ad- ministration officials here and Israeli leaders; the em- bassy here has taken on a secondary role. The appointment of Zalman Shoval, an experi- enced diplomat with a reputation for working effec- tively with the media, was seen as an attempt to shore up the role of the embassy now that Israel has aban- doned its "national unity" government. Shoval, unlike his predecessor, may have reliable access to top foreign policy officials in Jerusalem, several Jewish activists here suggested. But these same sources pointed out that Shoval, despite his Herut credentials, is not a close confidant of Foreign Min- ister David Levy. "They could have ac- knowledged the problems in the embassy here and sear- ched for a diplomat who might be able to set things in order," said an official with a major Jewish organization here. "That is apparently not what they did. The challenge for Shoval will be to see if he can establish the embassy here as a signifi- cant address in the conduct of U.S.-Israeli relations — and whether he can estab- lish better control over the embassy to set aside differ- ences." ❑ Ethiopian Jew: Israel Neglectful Tel Aviv (JTA) — A leader of the Ethiopian Jewish community has complained that Ethiopian immigrants are getting short shrift from the Israeli authorities com- pared to the attention given immigrants from the Soviet Union. Avraham Yadgai, who heads an organization of E- thiopian Jews, was quoted by Ma'ariv as charging that the government is not doing enough to bring to Israel the thousands of Jews remain- ing in Ethiopia. He said that since Israel and Ethiopia re-established diplomatic relations last year, Israel has not, in his opinion, made sufficient efforts to establish direct flights between the two countries. City Rescinds Hitler's Status Bonn (JTA) — The East German city of Rostock finally got around to remov- ing the name of Adolf Hitler from its list of honorary citizens July 5. Hitler was given the "freedom of the harbor" by the Baltic Sea port and ship- building center in 1933, shortly after his Nazi party was voted into power. Christoph Krummacher, a member of the Rostock City Council, said it was "grotesque and shameful" that the honor to Hitler was not rescinded until 45 years after the collapse of the Third Reich. Rabbi Injured In Fall At Home Tel Aviv (JTA) — Rabbi Eliezer Schach, aging men- tor of the Shas and Degel HaTorah parties, suffered a deep head wound from a fall in his Bnei Brak home Fri- day night. He was reported resting comfortably Sunday, after being treated at home by two Israeli Arab doctors. The doctors, who maintain a special "Shabbos goy" medical service for the ultra- Orthodox community, were summoned by family mem- bers.
