New York Post November 10, 2003 BLOOMBERG AND MOM PLAN DASH TO ISRAEL, KOSOVO By STEPHANIE GASKELL November 10, 2003 -- Mayor Bloomberg is planning a whistle-stop, two-day visit to Israel and Kosovo later this month - in part to fulfill along-standing promise to take his 94-year-old mother to Jerusalem. Hizzoner will jet to Tel Aviv with his elderly mom, Charlotte, on Nov. 23 and then drive to the Holy City, were he plans to make a dedication at the Hadassah Hospital in her honor. The pair will then whiz to Kosovo's capital, Pristina, where Bloomberg will celebrate Albanian Flag Day with the country's president and prime minister. "It's an opportunity to honor the contribution that the Albanian community makes in New York City and to remind people that genocide can happen anywhere if you are not vigilant," said the mayor's spokesman, Ed Skyler. Bloomberg will also be accompanied by Rep. John Sweeney (R-Saratoga Springs) on the trip. He plans to have dinner with troops at Kosovo's U.S. military headquarters, Camp Bondsteel. The tour will be the mayor's fifth official overseas trip and his second to Israel this year. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
