Gen. Arye Ben-Eliezer, former army commander on the West Bank, has been named secretary general of the Tami world organization. Tami is a Knesset faction founded last year by Aharon Abu-Hatzeira, the Minister of Labor and Social Welfare, after he defected from the National Religious Party. It plans to nominate delegates for election to the 30th World Zionist Congress to be held in Jerusalem later this year.
