Hey all,

After talking to the lawyer, we basically need to decide how much were pushing for this. I understand from him that since this was a JOINT DECISION to end the EX early, we need to work this together. We also need to make sure we have all the details, numbers and etc...

New issue.  The West Hotel Ashdod wants to charge us for the entire reservation, even though we all left over a week early because the Israeli Minister of Health told us to get out.

Tom,

Is this a new issue (from JC-20) or is this still the issue from January?

Thanks.

Nick, Ryan,

See below.  Who at the US Embassy can the IDF attorney work with to keep us from getting stiffed by the hotels for leaving Israel early.

Tom - is there someone in the embassy we can try and work with?
From what I understand from the lawyer, this will be a challenge.

Benzi,

See below,  Is the IDF lawyer working this issue?  They were supposed to be working with the MOD and MOF to get us some resolution on the cancelations

Thanks,

Dear Mr. Thomas Hooper

We still did not get a final answer about the accounts of the whole USA ENBASSY group. This is the reason why we still don't have final invoices.
When we will have an answer and close all the accounts we will send you the invoice as soon as possible.


Thank you for your patience and understanding,


The front desk staff
