NZ dismisses as stunt passport offer to Vanunu
By The Associated Press
WELLINGTON, New Zealand - The government on Wednesday dismissed a Green Party call to grant a New Zealand passport to Israeli nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu as a stunt, saying he wouldn't be able to make use of it to leave Israel.
Vanunu served 18 years in prison after telling reporters that Israel had developed nuclear weapons. He is currently charged with breaching an order preventing him from speaking to foreign journalists. He also is barred from leaving Israel, where officials have said they fear Vanunu may have more nuclear secrets to share.
Green lawmaker Keith Locke said last weekend that Vanunu should be offered a New Zealand passport offer "in recognition of his continued persecution for exposing Israel's nuclear weapons program."
"The last thing that would help Mr. Vanunu in his current situation would be for a country like New Zealand to publicly offer him a passport as a political gesture," Foreign Minister Phil Goff told the New Zealand Press Association. "There will be no practical effect of it in the sense that Mr. Vanunu would be unable to take up the offer."
Relations between Israel and New Zealand chilled after two suspected Israeli intelligence agents were convicted, imprisoned and deported from the South Pacific nation last year after pleading guilty to passport fraud.
New Zealand suspended all high-level political and diplomatic contacts with Israel, demanding an explanation and a public apology for the affair, in which the alleged Mossad agents tried to illegally acquire a New Zealand passport.
Goff said earlier this month that Israel had initiated contact over the issue and diplomatic negotiations to resolve it were continuing. New Zealand recently refused a visit by President Moshe Katsav over the dispute.

Report: NZ denies entry of high-ranking IDF officer
By Haaretz Staff
New Zealand has denied the entry of one of Israel's highest-ranking reserve officers, citing an ongoing diplomatic dispute between the two countries, the New Zealand Herald reported Tuesday.
Former Israel Defense Forces deputy chief of staff Major General Gabi Ashkenazi was slated to address Jewish leaders from the United Israel Appeal, a major fundraising group, but his visa was denied, the newspaper reported.
Relations between Israel and New Zealand have been chilly ever since two Israelis, suspected of being Mossad agents, were convicted of trying to obtain a passport by assuming the identity of a disabled New Zealander.
The report quoted a New Zealand Foreign Ministry official as saying Ashkenazi's visit "fell well outside the relevant guidelines" defined by the ministry last July. The guidelines include restrictions regarding high-level visits by Israeli officials.
In the absence of Ashkenazi, Minister Natan Sharansky placed a phone call to Auckland, and spoke to the 180 Jewish leaders.
Deputy Chief of Staff Major-General Gabi Ashkenazi was to have addressed a meeting in Auckland last Sunday of the United Israel Appeal, the premier Jewish fundraising agency.
A spokesman for Foreign Minister Phil Goff confirmed yesterday that a visa had been refused and linked the decision to the unresolved diplomatic row over the passport fraud affair.
He said General Ashkenazi's proposed visit "fell well outside the relevant guidelines" established by the Government last July.
This was after two Israelis, believed to be Mossad agents, tried to obtain a passport by assuming the identity of a disabled New Zealander.
Among the steps taken were restrictions on high-level visits from Israel to New Zealand.
A spokesman for the Prime Minister said yesterday that Helen Clark "could not recall" whether General Ashkenazi's visa application had been run past her, but "a matter like that would be the Foreign Minister's decision - and it would be in keeping with the official position on contacts with Israel at present".
The Immigration Service turned down the application just days before the planned trip.
In the end, senior Cabinet minister Natan Sharansky spoke to the 180-strong Auckland audience by phone from Jerusalem.
United Israel Appeal officials in Auckland and Sydney declined to comment.
But one Auckland Jew said the local community was pretty disappointed.
"Why are such people rejected access when representatives of undemocratic states are here all the time?"
Many New Zealand Jews were dismayed when Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi - whose Government's stated goals include the destruction of Israel - visited New Zealand in August for talks with the Government.
Act foreign affairs spokesman Ken Shirley said that refusing a visa application from an Israeli planning "a non-official visit to a private organisation is a gross incursion into basic freedoms that we expect in this country".
"I think it's becoming pathetic," Mr Shirley said. "The Government's unnecessarily making a political issue about this."
Speaking from Tel Aviv, a spokesman for General Ashkenazi's office would not comment, other than to say the general had decided not to visit New Zealand "for personal reasons".
The United Israel Appeal is a non-political organisation which since the 1920s has raised funds around the world to help Jewish immigration, absorption of new arrivals in Israel and education.
