moving the Volcani Institute - Agricultural Research Organization from its campus at Bet Dagan and reducing the area of the Mikveh Israel agricultural school are at the top of the government’s housing plans for 2025 This is alongside extensive plans for raising the supply of housing through what are called "mega roof agreements," and distribution of aid to advance urban renewal projects These measures are the basis of a highly ambitious government housing plan for next year Central to the plan is the government’s desire to move the bases at the "Kirya" the IDF’s headquarters in central Tel Aviv the military training bases at Glilot on the border of Tel Aviv and Herzliya to new locations to be determined by the Israel Land Authority and the Budgets Division of the Ministry of Finance According to the timetable in the proposal the bases at Glilot will be moved to a new location by the end of 2026 within four months the Israel Land Authority the Ministry of Defense and the Budgets Division will come to an agreement on realizing this decision including the costs of removal and the location of the land to which the bases will be moved the plan instructs the Israel Land Authority to advance the planning for the sites that the IDF will evacuate within 45 days of the decision and to start planning the IDF bases in the new locations chosen for them allocating priority to these plans in the planning and building institutions with today’s technology there is no need for such extensive areas as are currently taken up The government also wants to move the Volcani Institute to a new location in order to increase substantially the supply of housing in the heart of the areas in high demand the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Finance Budgets Division are to formulate a detailed agreement on realizing this decision historic agricultural site that the government plans to deal with is the Mikveh Israel youth village and agricultural school The government’s decision calls for the Ministry of Finance to reach a detailed agreement with Mikveh Israel-Kol Israel Haverim part of the Alliance Israélite Universelle on the planning and development of housing units on part of the land currently used by the school while the Israel Land Authority advances planning for the land that will become free The government also seeks to instruct the minister of construction and housing and the minister of finance to sign "mega roof agreements" within 90 days of the decision with local authorities that have plans for at least 15,000 housing units due to be approved within a year and a half by the planning institutions these local authorities will commit to allowing the sale of land within their jurisdiction at a rate of at least 5,000 housing units a year and the local planning authority will commit to being prepared professionally to approve applications for building permits within 90 days The plan also attempts to deal with the slow progress of urban renewal projects and it includes a substantial increase in government aid for projects that are not worthwhile economically and reinforcement of buildings against earthquake Owners of apartments in such buildings will be required to repay the government aid What are the chances of these plans being carried out It’s hard to believe that they are high To take the removal of the Kirya bases: the target date is 2030 even if the IDF and the Ministry of Defense rapidly come to agreement with the Israel Land Authority and the Ministry of Finance om alternative sites Shifting the Volcani Institute was an idea of former minister of agriculture Uri Ariel and it met with opposition both within his ministry and from the Rishon LeZion municipality within whose jurisdiction the institute lies Reducing the area of Mikveh Israel is another move that will arouse public opposition since the school is perceived as a green lung in the Tel Aviv metropolis not to mention the school’s historic status it must be said that very few local authorities currently meet the condition of available plans for 15,000 housing units Those that perhaps do are those that already performing well in construction - places such as Ashkelon but have yet to construct many housing units under them Published by Globes, Israel business news - en.globes.co.il - on September 22 © Copyright of Globes Publisher Itonut (1983) Ltd.

Pardo was the exact opposite of Dagan: more conservative and more collegial with his bosses though he did not always see eye-to-eye with Netanyahu on Israel’s strategic challenges who brought this debate out into the public The two also represent different approaches to the profession of intelligence in general: While Dagan strongly believed in old-school covert but kinetic operations (e.g. Pardo invested a great deal of effort and resources in the cyber domain believing it to be Israel’s main future battlefield While Dagan’s term was characterized by significant structural whose main purpose was to promote the agency’s operational capabilities Pardo reacted differently and strived to improve the agency’s technological capabilities Given the conservative nature of the community it needs both more brave managers like Dagan and more updated and technologically oriented approaches such as those of Pardo Shay Hershkovitz is Wikistrat’s Chief Strategy Officer He is also an adjunct professor at the Department of Political Science at Tel Aviv University and at Bar-Ilan University Signing up for this newsletter means you agree to our data policy Some 18 researchers at five institutions in four countries are hard at work trying to find a solution for Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV) a contagion causing high rates of mortality in farmed and wild tilapia stocks in Israel Tilapia is farmed in 80 countries worldwide but the leading producers of this protein staple are China There have been no reports of an outbreak of TiLV in China to date executive director of the China Blue Sustainability Institute said the Chinese government is being urged to begin field investigations “Right now we’re going through a high-temperature season during which tilapia easily get sick,” she noted “Most symptoms reported from farms showed regular afflictions and we’ve heard of no particular fears or concerns about TiLV among our partners to date.” a veterinarian with the Kimron Veterinary Institute in Bet Dagan was one of the first to link tilapia mortalities to TiLV back in 2010 “At that time we saw tilapia catches decrease in the Sea of Galilee and suspected it was a virus,” he said “We sent samples to reference labs and colleagues across the world but no-one could point towards a known agent.” a colleague and molecular virologist at Tel Aviv University and together they began examining the cytopathic effects of TiLV “In our initial experiments we induced the disease in cells and found that a small portion of the tilapia survived the infection,” Bacharach said “Those fish were immune to further exposures of the virus So we started thinking about ways to vaccinate the fish.” TiLV has real potential to be devastating to the industry “We have a few approaches to inducing immunity to this pathogen in tilapia populations One is keeping an attenuated strain of the virus alive with the ability to replicate yet without its virulence,” Bacharach added involves expressing a limited set of the proteins derived from TiLV and exposing the fish to this.” The researchers are also trying to identify tilapia strains or species that are less susceptible to TiLV we try to hybridize these less susceptible fish with commercially grown fish,” Eldar said The two researchers are collaborating with others at Columbia University in New York Grant funding has been supplied by a U.S.-Israel Binational Agricultural Research & Development Fund and a fellowship from the Manna Center Program in Food Safety and Security at Tel Aviv University “This is a disease affecting poor countries in Africa and East Asia not a disease found in Europe or North America,” he explained a major protein source and source of work in the developing world and not the next big issue for the fish industries in America or Europe which is why more funding of our research is not readily available.” Tilapia is the world’s second-most farmed fish estimated at between 4.5 and 5 million metric tons annually Israel’s annual tilapia yields have plummeted up to 85 percent and similar mortality rates have been reported in Ecuador and Colombia TiLV has real potential to be devastating to the industry,” Bacharach said “We were the first to report on this disease in Israel in 2014 the same year it was reported in Ecuador,” Eldar noted there have been more and more publications of outbreaks in Asia and South America and every week we’re approached by colleagues asking for information on how to culture and detect the virus This leads us to believe that TiLV is occurring all over the world.” While the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says TiLV does not pose a risk to public health it issued an alert through the Global Information and Early Warning System asking countries importing tilapia to intensify their diagnostics testing deploy quarantine measures and develop contingency plans @GAA_Advocate Viruses often are the most potentially damaging pathogens in nature, affecting both wild stocks and farmed animals. Due to an Infectious Haematopoietic Necrosis (IHN) viral outbreak that occurred in Atlantic salmon in British Columbia, Canada some years ago, a vaccine for IHN was developed against this serious threat.  At this year’s GOAL conference in Guangzhou, China, leading animal welfare and aquatic animal disease experts will share knowledge about how producers can gird their operations. EMS, EHP, streptococcosis and sea lice will be addressed, as will the latest in area management.  The next step for shrimp breeding will be developing animals that aren’t just disease-free, but increasingly resistant to multiple pathogens. The industry is globalizing, with suppliers setting up shop overseas. But its birthplace will always be Hawaii.  Biosecurity measures and preventive strategies are essential in any biological production chain. Properly planned and implemented biosecurity programs will enhance animal health, production and economics.  The Responsible Seafood Advocate supports the Global Seafood Alliance’s (GSA) mission to advance responsible seafood practices through education, advocacy and third-party assurances. This ambivalence is evident, too, on the Israeli left. In 2008, the columnist Gideon Levy criticized Channel 2 when it declared Dagan Israel’s “man of the year.” (“Our man of the year is a declared killer,” Levy wrote. “Whether by box-cutter or car bomb, his craft is killing. His killer instincts are our source of pride, the peak of our creativity.”) Three years later, after Dagan went public with his criticism of Netanyahu, Levy celebrated Dagan for his “responsible and courageous act.” “I was an Army captain in 1973 and I saw the discussions of our military and intelligence leaders,” he said. “None of them were stupid. This was Israel’s best team. Nevertheless, they made mistakes—mistakes that cost twenty-five hundred lives. I don’t want to find myself in a situation where I look back and I haven’t acted and spoken from my conscience. “Don’t be mistaken, I am not a liberal by point of view,” he went on. “If I thought the use of brute force on Iran would stop the nuclear threat in the region and to Israel, that would be one thing. I am judging things from a practical point of view. . . . You have to take into consideration the following questions about an Israeli attack: What would be achieved? What about five minutes after? And what are the consequences of such an attack?” “I’ve never seen the corn this bad.”Copy link to cartoonCopy link to cartoonLink copied Ya’alon is a tough but subtle operator, and he is known to be more reluctant than Netanyahu and Barak to launch a bombing campaign against Iran. “It is not our preference to do it ourselves,” he told me. “This is achievable without the military option, which I consider a last, last resort. But so far I don’t see that the Iranians are ready to give it up.” But isn’t proliferation inevitable? We’ve even learned to live with a bomb in Pyongyang. “North Korea has no aspiration to impose its regime and ideology globally,” Ya’alon replied. “It wanted a nuclear weapon to defend the regime and to exercise blackmail. Even Pakistan, which is complicated and dangerous enough, does not want to impose its regime globally. Iran is unique. “We face a fanatical, messianic, apocalyptic regime with the aspiration to defeat Western civilization,” Ya’alon said. “And in this picture Israel is the minor Satan and America is the great Satan.” For Netanyahu, reliance on the United States smacks of timidity and a repudiation of national purpose. As Moshe Halbertal, a professor of philosophy at the Hebrew University, put it to me one morning in Jerusalem, “If Netanyahu fails, in his terms the entire raison d’être of Israel falls apart—meaning, if we cannot face up to the new Hitler, who am I? Who are we? At this point, he would have to be courageous not to attack Iran.” “In 2003, as the United States invaded Iraq, Iran felt under siege,” he went on. “The great Satan was at their borders and threatening. . . . The Iranians learned from North Korea, Pakistan, and India that a state with a nuclear weapon will not suffer interference the way a state without one does.” Dagan smiled. Then he said, “As for the ‘man who knows how to play the piano,’ if you look back at his career, every major strategic approach when he was Prime Minister was a failure: his meetings with Arafat at Camp David, his attempt to make peace with Assad of Syria, his retreat from Lebanon, which brought Hezbollah to our borders. And there are other examples. I’m not under the influence of such a renowned, clever man.” As we were talking, Dagan interrupted himself and motioned to the spread of dates, nuts, and candy that he had laid out on the coffee table in front of us. “Look!” he said, with a mock-wounded expression. “You haven’t touched a thing!” This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks.

Dagan (pronounced dag-ANN) publicly criticised Netanyahu and his defense minister over their policy of preparing for a military option against Iran's nuclear program He told an audience at a conference in Jerusalem that a strike on Iran's nuclear installations would be "a stupid idea" Dagan argued that military action might not achieve all its goals and could lead to a regional war His criticism became more personal after the military chief of staff Gabi Ashkenazi and the director of the Shin Bet internal security agency Yuval Diskin left office Ashkenazi and I could block any dangerous adventure," Dagan was quoted as saying "Now I am afraid that there is no one to stop Bibi and Barak," he added Dagan oversaw a number of reported operations that were hailed as great successes in Israel One was a joint US and Israeli effort that produced the Stuxnet computer worm a program that appeared to have wiped out about a fifth of Iran's nuclear centrifuges It had been tested at Israel's heavily guarded Dimona nuclear facility in the Negev Though he never spoke publicly about his role Dagan was central to the Israeli part of the program conferring regularly with senior members of then-president George W the world powers reached a deal with Iran to curb its nuclear program which Israeli leaders consider an existential threat to their country Dagan provided US officials with the pictures that proved that Syria had been building a nuclear reactor with North Korean help The Bush administration declined to bomb it but Israel destroyed it in an air raid in September of that year Dagan was regarded by reporters as humourless He criticised Israel's political leaders for failing to pursue seriously a peace initiative with the Palestinians and last year he again lashed out at Netanyahu shortly before the general elections returned him to office for a third consecutive term stronger by far than all the countries in the region is incapable of carrying out a strategic move that will improve our situation?" Dagan asked at a rally in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv calling for political change "The answer is simple: we have a leader who is fighting one campaign only the campaign for his political survival." Dagan said at the rally that he was "not a man of speeches" or a member of any political party "The only party I am loyal to every day is the state of Israel," he said Other reports said he was born on the floor of a train as his parents travelled between Poland and the Soviet Union He immigrated to Israel with his family in 1950 and enlisted in the Israeli military in 1963 He served in the paratrooper brigade and fought as a company commander in the Arab-Israeli War of 1967 the general who became prime minister of Israel to establish a special unit to combat militancy in the Gaza Strip in the 1970s He was later appointed commander of the South Lebanon region He retired from the military in 1995 with the rank of major general Dagan then joined Israel's counterterrorism bureau under then-prime minister Shimon Peres and was later appointed head of the bureau He returned to the military in the late 1990s joining the general staff and serving as a special adviser to the chief of staff It was Sharon who appointed Dagan to lead the Mossad where he served as director under three prime ministers: Sharon Israel does not acknowledge responsibility for operations abroad blamed Israel for the 2008 assassination of Imad Mughniyeh whose car exploded in the heart of Damascus In a more embarrassing episode on Dagan's watch the Palestinian Islamic militant group that controls Gaza accused Israel of killing one of its senior officials Israelis initially celebrated the 2010 operation but then the Dubai police released images showing some of the 17 people suspected of being in the hit squad bumbling about in almost comical disguises described Dagan as "one of the builders of the foundations of the theories of the war against terrorism of special operations in the military and within the intelligence community" Marking Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day in April 2010 the popular Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot printed the photograph of Dagan's grandfather on its cover Dagan's voice broke with emotion as he linked his personal connection to the Holocaust with his lifelong mission of trying to safeguard Israel "During all the years of my service," he said "I carried with me from place to place the photograph of my grandfather taken a moment before he was murdered by the Nazis I swore that that would never happen again I hope and believe that I have done everything in my power to keep that promise."
