  Barak comments on Netanyahu probe (September 24, 1999)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Amedi is accused of giving kickbacks to the Netanyahus from inflated bills he presented to the government for work he performed on the couple's private residence.
Amedi, who threatened to sue the Netanyahus for $110,000 for his work, has insisted on holding on to the boxes as collateral.
Amedi, his wife and their daughter were questioned this week for just over seven hours by police investigators in separate rooms at the national fraud squad headquarters in Bat Yam.

The Netanyahus are suspected of accepting the moving and cleaning services of contractor Yaakov Amedi for three years without pay.
In return, Amedi was allegedly slated to receive a government contract.
Media reports say the contractor submitted a $110,000 bill after Netanyahu was defeated and it became clear Amedi would not get a government contract.

 ze's blog: Blind painter
To determine how this may be possible, Harvard neurologists Alvaro Pascual-Leone Amir Amedi are scanning Armagan's brain.
Amedi, along with Ehud Zohary at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, found that the area is also activated in verbal memory tasks.
When Amedi analysed the results, however, he found that Armagan's visual cortex lit up during the drawing task, but hardly at all for the verbal recall.

Amedi used the opportunity to lash out at independent candidate Nir Barkat, calling the successful businessman "a leftist who is trying to buy the city." Amedi also accused Barkat of lobbying Likud MKs to pressure him to withdraw his candidacy.
Amedi said that he, his family, and his friends were the subject of "days of pressure and threats" by Barkat and his people to pull out of the race.
By remaining in the race, Amedi effectively splits the secular vote between Barkat and himself, paving the way for Lupoliansky to secure the top spot at city hall.

At a certain point, Amedi said, "it became clear that some youths were coming, who weren't the age the cafe caters to, and they were not in need of care; their main interest was that there were young (Jewish - B.K.) women in distress there."
Amedi notes: "Of course, it was all done politely and without being offensive."
Therefore Amedi should not be surprised when the boys rejected his idea of compensating them with a parallel cafe in the eastern part of the city.

 Police findings could lead to Netanyahu indictment (March 31, 2000)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
During the police investigation, Amedi turned state's witness and supplied police with details of his nine-year relationship with the Netanyahus and the description of the different jobs he carried out for them.
He added that a distinction should be made between the work Amedi carried out in an official capacity and work he carried out in a private capacity before Netanyahu was elected.
Netanyahu added that it was inconceivable to charge him with accepting bribes when Amedi himself appeared on Channel 2 and denied allegations of bribes, explaining that he asked for payment for the work but the sum was then disputed.

 Calculated Frightfulness of Ashur Nasir Apal, A.T. Olmstead
To the north, beyond the great bend, the Aramaean state of Bit Zamani, with its capital at Amedi, was the next to invite attack, but this was for the moment staved off by Amine Ba'li who again sent tribute and again acknowledged himself under the influence of the empire.
But nowhere are we told that Amedi was captured and it seems most probable that the Assyrian monarch left the city in disgrace.
In spite of his efforts, the close of the reign saw the Amedi region, the Kirhi country south of the Tigris, Bit Adini, and the whole line of the Euphrates, still in large measure independent, though perchance paying a reluctant contribution when the Assyrian king appeared in person and supported by an army.

Each is convinced he has a special contribution to make to the development of the capital in the 21st century.
Amedi, a self-made man from the poor Nahlaot neighborhood, claims to have an innate understanding of the city’s residents and their needs.
Still, many secular Jerusalemites complain they have no one to vote for: Barkat’s critics fear he may try too much too soon and end up being a mayor for the rich, while Amedi’s critics say he is a good No. 2 but doesn’t have what it takes to be No. 1.
