		Abba Eban, the Israeli statesman who died yesterday aged 87, represented his country at the United Nations from 1948 to 1959, in Washington as Ambassador from 1950 to 1959, and served as Israel's Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1966 to 1974; few Israelis brought greater talents to public life.
		Eban's speech at the UN Security Council in defence of Israel's action was a tour de force, possibly the high-point of his career.
		Eban, with his polished urbanity and linguistic skills was not one of her favourites, and she would often go over his head to deal directly with her man in Washington.

		In 2001, Abba Eban was awarded the Israel Prize for his lifetime achievement, but his wife received the prize on his behalf, as he was too ill to attend the ceremony.

	Abba Eban, Israeli statesman, dies at 87
		Abba Eban, the erudite diplomat whose oratory and wit gained admiration and sympathy for Israel in the perilous first 30 years of its independence, died Sunday in a hospital near Tel Aviv, Foreign Ministry and hospital officials said.
		Eban was an effective negotiator at talks that helped shape the destiny of his country in its early years, but it was his public voice and its effect on international opinion that set him apart.
		Eban was born in Cape Town, South Africa, on Feb. 2, 1915, the son of Abraham Meir Solomon, a businessman who had emigrated from Russian-held Lithuania, and his wife, Alida.

	Abba Eban - Israel
		Abba Eban's potent public affairs skills were not fully utilized by the Israeli establishment in his latter days.
		That Eban was not put to creative work for the State until his last day, was both a personal tragedy for this Israeli legend and even more so for all Israelis who today suffer from a negative image in many areas of the globe.
		May Eban the man and Eban the diplomat serve as a true inspiration to future Israeli governmental officials and diplomats as to the meaning of successful and professional public affairs.

		Eban's great speech to the entire General Assembly was as much aimed at the American public and world opinion as at the assembled delegates, and it led to Israel's admission to the UN.
		Eban then became the Israeli delegate to the UN and retained that post until 1959, becoming vice-president of the General Assembly in 1953.
		Eban had also protested at police brutality, saying that he wanted no part of a government that used sticks to beat young boys; worse excesses were to follow.

		Born Aubrey Eban in South Africa in 1915, raised in England, thrust upon the world stage as an Israeli, Eban the statesman seems as complex and contradictory as his curriculum vitae.
		Eban maintained in that speech that the threat to Israel triggered "a roar of indignation sweep[ing] across the world," with "men in progressive movements and members of the scientific and humanistic cultures join[ing] together in sounding an alarm bell about an issue that vitally affected the human conscience."
		Eban's emerging dovishness during his final decades was a natural outcome of his key life work — securing Israel's lifeline to the "cousins" — as well as his belief that Israel's long stay in the West Bank and Gaza would undercut the delicate fabric of its moral and international standing.

	Judaism 101 - Abba Eban - A Glossary of Basic Jewish Terms and Concepts - OU.ORG
		Born Aubrey Eban in South Africa in 1915, and raised in England, Abba Eban played a major role in the Zionist Movement.
		Eban once said that “...there was no way in which the Jews, after their trials and ordeals, could renounce the idea of Jewish statehood, and there was no way in which the Arabs could possibly accept the Israeli demand for statehood...
		Eban’s emerging dovishness, despite his eloquent representation and defense of Israel in times of war, was a natural outcome of his major life work — attempting to foster some sort of positive relationship between Israel and its “cousins.” He believed deeply that Israel’s birth was deeply linked with the idea of sharing territory and sovereignty.

		Abba Eban, who served as Israel's foreign minister and the country's first ambassador to the United States and United Nations, died Sunday at the age of 87.
		Eban is best described as an old school intellectual, the kind of diplomatic gentleman that is no longer to be found in the international political arena and is so desperately missing in the current public image Israel presents to the world.
		One of the highlights of Eban's career was serving as the pre-state's envoy during the vote on the UN resolution of November 29, 1947 that approved the partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states.

	PBS and Abba Eban: On the Brink of Bias
		Eban, the veteran Israeli politician, is still remembered with affection by many Americans as the eloquent Ambassador of his country to the United States and the United Nations, and as the host of the PBS documentary Heritage: Civilization and the Jews.
		Eban declares that after the Six Day War in 1967 the PLO "called for the eviction of Israel from captured territories..." The PLO, and its leader, Yasir Arafat, called for more than Israel's "eviction" – they called for Israel's destruction.
		It is regrettable indeed that Abba Eban has lent his name and still considerable prestige to a project that tends to undermine much of what he has worked for during 50 years of public service.

	Thoughts on Abba Eban
		Abba Eban wore his worldliness well as he proceeded to represent Israel abroad throughout the decisive moments of her history-1956-the Suez Crisis, 1967-the Six Day War, 1973-the Yom Kippur War.
		In 1959, Abba Eban was elected to the Knesset and joined the Israeli Cabinet, first as Minister without Portfolio and then as Minister of Education and Culture.
		My hope [Abba Eban concluded in an almost prayerful tone] is that the Jewish people will be enabled by its experience of freedom to rise beyond the sufferings of the past and the frustrations of history into the assertion of its unique spirituality.

		EBAN: I believe that it would be useful if there were, if there was more discussion in Israel than there is today about not only how to live at peace with the Arab world but how to live in harmony of mutual interests with the Arab world.

		Sentences poured forth in mellifluous constructions complicated enough to test the listener's intelligence and simultaneously leave him transfixed by the speaker's virtuosity." The spell cast by Eban's eloquence was such, that "to interrupt seemed almost unthinkable." The most famous speech that he ever gave in the UN was actually after his term as ambassador.
		Eban believed that someone who displays the symbols of a Jew - both on the global and local stages - has a responsibility that supercedes his personal feelings or inclinations, another ambassadorial obligation.
