Syed Hamid Adakan Perjumpaan Dengan Menteri Luar Israel di New York!!!!! Singapore Straits Times SEP 28 1999                  Historic meeting between KL,                  Israel ministers                  By ABRAHAM RABINOVICH                  IN JERUSALEM                  ISRAELI papers yesterday reported on a "historic                  meeting" between Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed                  Hamid Albar and his Israeli counterpart David Levy in                  New York over the weekend.                  According to the reports, the ministers conferred for 45                  minutes on the sidelines of a United Nations General                  Assembly session, which both are attending, and agreed                  to establish a bilateral committee to explore the                  possibility of cooperation between their countries.                  While there has been no official word from either side, it                  was the first reported meeting between representatives                  of the two countries, which have no diplomatic ties.                  The meeting was said to have been arranged by                  non-governmental American figures.                  Malaysia is perceived in Israel as an extremist Muslim                  state that takes the lead in attacks on Israel in Islamic                  forums.                  An Israeli source said the ministers agreed that the two                  countries "should open up to each other".                  Datuk Syed Hamid reportedly told Mr Levy that                  Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad had sent                  a message of congratulations to Israeli Prime Minister                  Ehud Barak after the latter's election victory in May.                  There has been no previous report of such a message                  being sent.                  Last week in New York, Mr Levy also met                  representatives of 11 Arab countries, several of which                  have no diplomatic relations with Israel.                  That meeting was reportedly arranged by US Secretary                  of State Madeleine Albright and was hailed as an                  indication of the warmer atmosphere in the region                  following Mr Barak's victory over former hardline                  premier Benjamin Netanyahu. Nota: Kenapa akhbar Tempatan Tidak melaporkannya ?????Seperti juga perjumpaan sulit diantara Mahathir dengan Yitzhak Rabin (Perdana Menteri Israel waktu itu) dan Shimon Peres (Menteri Luar) Di Paris pada tahun 1994 dan kehadiran Daim di Kongress Yahudi sedunia pada tahun 1997.
