Edgar Bronfman, President of the Wold Jewish Congress (L) shakes hands with Dan Tichon, Speaker of the Knesset (Parliament) as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (R) readies a prize to award Bronfman November 17 for his part in attaining settlements with Swiss banks on behalf of Jewish holocaust survivors. Next to Ticho (L) is Avraham Hirschson, Chairman of the Knesset committee for the return of Jewish property from World War II. US Senator Alfonso D'Amato was supposed to also receive an award at the same ceremony but took ill and did not attend.
