Opportunities
For U.S. Firms

Jerusalem (JPFS) — U.S.
Undersecretary of State for Economic
Affairs Stuart Eizenstat will be seeking
investment opportunities for
American companies during a two-
day visit to Israel, according to an
official at the U.S. Embassy in Tel
Aviv.
This is the first leg of Eizenstat's
visit to several Middle Eastern capi-
tals and his first trip in his new role.
Eizenstat had been in Israel on several
occasions as undersecretary for trade.
Eizenstat is hoping to push for the
regional economic summit, scheduled
for Qatar in November, to take place
as scheduled. There are reports of
increasing Arab pressure on Qatar to
cancel or postpone the conference
because of the freeze in the peace
process. Qatar is expected to formally
invite Israel to the conference in the
coming days, according to govern-
ment sources in Jerusalem. While
in Israel, Eizenstat will also be push-
ing for the completion of the Karni
industrial park in Gaza by the end of
the year. The park is the result of
months of talks between Israel and
the Palestinian Authority, with con-
siderable support from Eizenstat, par-
ticularly during his previous posting.
Eizenstat will also meet Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu,
Industry and Trade Minister Natan
Sharansky, National Infrastructure
Minister Ariel Sharon, and a variety
of business leaders.
Talks with ministers are expected
to concentrate on regional projects,
including the possible purchase of
Egyptian gas and joint industrial
parks with Jordan, according to min-
isterial aides.
