If that’s ok, I would propose going down south/up north in the morning, back in TLV by 3-4pm and then dinner before the airport.... how does that sound?

Hi Benzi,

Many thanks for yesterday. Good to clarify a number of aspects of both the CJOPS visit and Ex Noah’s Ark.

I have confirmed with our Australian staff at UNTSO, and we won’t get back into Jerusalem from the tour of the UN positions in the Golan Heights until about 1630-1700 on 26 May. By the time we then drive to Tel Aviv it will be 1830-1900, so I don’t think a dinner that evening is feasible.

So can we look at the option of CJOPS calls on the IDF J3 and J5 on the 27^th, with a lunch and Ben Gurion House tour as well. This is probably best option, and depending on timings of the office calls there may be scope for a cultural tour of Tel Aviv as well.

But I will wait to see the availability of the J3 and J5 first.

regards
