Subject:Cancellation of Staff College Participation 20/21

Michal, the attached letters state that the CAF is withdrawing its invitation for foreign participation from NSP, JCSP and AOC for courses that were to have begun this summer. A further letter is expected that will formally notify the IDF that the CAF does not intend to send a student to INDC 48 2020-21. I think this situation is very disappointing for all concerned but an unfortunate consequence of the COVID 19 crisis. I ask you to please forward these letters to the appropriate IDF authorities. I would be happy to discuss with you at your convenience.
