(/) LU CC }--- UJ U-1 H- 42 The naming of America's new ambassador to Israel reflects the Clinton administration's pro-Israel sentiments. JAMES D. BESSER WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT A s recently as 1978, Jews — professional diplomats, secretaries and groundskeepers alike — were unofficially banned from serving at the American embassy in Tel Aviv because of concerns about "dual loyalty." Now, a longtime Jewish ac- tivist and former director of a think tank associated with the pro-Israel lobby is about to get the nod as America's ambassador to Israel. During his Middle East swing this week, Secretary of State Warren Christopher confirmed that Martin Indyk, currently se- nior director. for Middle East af- fairs at the National Security Council and special assistant to the president, will be nominated to replace Edward P. Djerejian, Who is retiring to head up the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice Universi- tY. Before his NSC appointment, the Australian-born Mr. Indyk served as director of the Wash- ington Institute for Near East Policy, a Middle East think tank created by officers of the Ameri- can Israel Public Affairs Com- mittee. Before that, he was AIPAC's deputy research direc- tor. During his tenure at the Clin- ton White House, Mr. Indyk was a key player in administration ef- forts to boost the Mideast peace process. He also has pushed for a tougher approach to the spread of Islamic fundamentalism — a focus that should further endear him to the Israeli government. What does it all mean? "On the surface, it's one more example of an administration that has leaned over backward to be friendly to Israel," said Robert 0. Freedman, a professor of po- litical science at Baltimore He- brew University and a leading Middle East expert. "It's part of a series of pro-Israel actions by this administration. This is the latest and the greatest." Mr. Freedman discounted speculation that the appointment of an overtly pro-Israel activist pointed to a new administration effort to pressure Israel. "That's the suspicious inter- pretation," he said. "If you were getting ready to squeeze Israel, who would be better than some- body like Indyk? However, this administration has been so pro- Israel in everything it's done that it strains the credulity to think this is part of their motivation." Other observers suggest that while Mr. Indyk's pro-Israel are unimpeachable, his skills as a diplomat are untested. And there are concerns that he will be hard to replace at NSC, where he has brought a strong pro-Israel voice into the decision- making process.

But to the Israeli government — a Labor party government, af- ter all — a strong connection be- tween the American and Israeli labor movements is a key ingre- dient in the "special relationship" between Washington and Jerusalem. Strengthening those bonds is the job of Ceremia Padan, coun- selor for labor at the Israeli Em- bassy in Washington. "Governments change, but so- cial structures change much more slowly," she said in a recent in- terview. "We've had very good re- lations with the unions that go back even before the establish- ment of Israel. We have delega- tions going back and forth, learning from each other." Through her work with unions, she said, she helps create more personal bonds between Ameri- cans and Israelis by focusing on common issues — civil rights, the rights of workers and programs to help workers cope with a changing world. Those issues were the focus of a speech she gave in June to a major African-American labor group — their first meeting with an Israeli official. She also works with federal au- thorities to improve the lives of workers in both countries. PROFILE page 44 (
