Plans to give pieces of Israel's land to Austrian Companies
Jews out! Austrians welcome!
"According to the P.A. tourist publication This Week in Palestine,
plans are well underway to build a new casino and tourist resort in
Southern Gaza. "Is it a coincidence," Bedein asks, "that this is where
the Jewish communities of Katif now reside?" PA sources say that the
new casino will be owned by the same as those who own the Jericho
casino: the PA, an Austrian casino company, the Austrian Bank BAWAG
and Martin Schlaff - all of them clients of Weissglass' office. When
working for Sharon, Weissglass was engaged in high-level negotiations
with PA figures. He also met with American officials regarding
preparations for the "disengagement" from Gaza and the evacuation of
Jewish towns in Katif.
"Dov Weissglass, who recently resigned as head of Prime Minister
Sharon's Office, is still listed as part-owner of a law firm
representing PA business interests who wish to build a casino in
southern Gaza.
"In January 2003, the Israel Civil Service Commission spokesman
affirmed Bedein's finding that Weissglass was still registered in the
Israel Cor****ate Register as part of his law firm, Weissglass-Almagor.
The spokesman dismissed its im****tance, however, saying that
Weissglass had divested himself from all financial interests in that
firm. The Commission asked him to formally remove his name from the
firm, however, and indeed, in April 2003, he did so.
"But, Bedein now re****ts, it has been confirmed by the Israel
Cor****ate Authority that Weissglass is still registered as the lawyer
of record for two other firms that are located at the same addresses
and with the same lawyers. One of them, in fact, has the very same
name: Weissglass-Almagor.
"On May 11, 2004, the spokesman for the Israel Civil Service
Commission wrote that Weissglass had divested himself of his law firm
and had sold the shares of his business. Upon examination of the
publicly available Israel Cor****ate Authority records of the
Weissglass business, Bedein re****ts, there is no record of any
Weissglass activity to divest neither from this second law firm nor
from his business.
"Two weeks ago," Bedein wrote in Makor Rishon, "Weissglass was asked
if he still has contacts with the casino company. His answer: 'No
comment.'"
"Bedein lists the following remaining questions:
* What profits did Weissglass' law office and business make from
Palestinian Authority interests before and after Weissglass assumed
his position?
* What are the current profits of Weissglass' law office and business
from Palestinian Authority interests?
* Is there a possibility of a conflict of interest, at a time when
Weissglass conducts negotiations on behalf of the state of Israel with
all official levels of the Palestinian Authority?
"These questions need to be addressed," Bedein concludes, "by the
Knesset, the Attorney-General, the State Comptroller and by the Israel
Civil Service Commission." The latter two can be visited at

Now, let us recall what I exposed two years ago. As far as I know, I
first exposed the Sharon-Weisglass casino mafia. Now everyone is
catching up.
