t is doubtful President Barack
Obama will rack up many tan-
gible policy achievements during
his upcoming Middle East trip. But
if worse comes to worst, he won't
go home entirely
empty-handed.
President Shimon
Peres on Monday
announced that
he will present his
American coun-
terpart with the
Presidential Medal
Barack Obama
of Distinction dur-
ing his March stay
in Israel.
Thus, Peres will
be awarding Obama
a blue-ribboned
medal less than
a year after Peres
himself received
Shimon Peres
one in the White
House: Last June,
Obama presented Peres with the
Presidential Medal of Freedom,
America's highest civilian honor.
"Barack Obama is a true friend of
the State of Israel, and has been since
the beginning of his public life Peres
and the award committee said in
explaining their decision.
As president of the United States
of America, he has stood with Israel
in times of crisis. During his time
as president he has made a unique
contribution to the security of the
State of Israel, both through further
strengthening the strategic coop-
eration between the countries and
through the joint development of
technology to defend against rockets
and terrorism:'
The medal — which features the
North Star, "to symbolize the right
path,” and a menorah — is given to
individuals and organizations "that
have made unique and outstand-
ing contributions to Tikkun Olam
(Bettering the World), Israeli society
and the State of Israel's image around
the world, and which constitute
examples of initiative, innovation,
creativity and vision:' according to the
President's Residence.
Previous awardees include former
secretary of state Henry Kissinger;
the music director of the Israel
Philharmonic Orchestra, Zubin
Mehta; Attorney Uri Slonim; Judy
Feld Carr; the Rashi Foundation; and
Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz. ❑
