Israel Among Leading Nations in Y2K Preparedness

Israel is among the 12 most prepared nations in the world for the Year 2000 bug, according to a report published at the second International Conference of Y2K Coordinators. World Bank experts divided the nations of the world into four groups, according to the expected rate of Y2K problems. Israel joined the United States in the first group, nations whose rate of Y2K problems was estimated to be 15% percent. Most of the United Nation's member-nations sent representatives to discuss government, economic, and emergency services' readiness for the Y2K bug. Israel's team was headed by Rafi Peled, Chairman of the Israel Electric Company and coordinator of the Y2K coordination effort. Arab representatives to the UN conference were outraged to find the Israeli representatives grouped together with them in the Middle East and North African group. Israeli representatives who arrived for the final discussion on Monday found themselves waiting in an empty room for two-and-a-half hours while Arab representatives stood at the door and refused to go in until the Israelis left, thereby canceling the discussion. The Israeli Ambassador to the UN expressed his disappointment with the Arab representatives' behavior. He said that instead breaking down barriers, the Arab missions are creating new ones.
