California governor says state won't divest Israeli holdings
By Reuters
LOS ANGELES - California Gov. Gray Davis assured Israeli officials on Friday that he would not yield to any political pressure to divest the state's pension fund of its Israeli holdings.
Speaking on the day after an Egyptian gunman fatally shot two Israelis at the El Al ticket counter at Los Angeles International Airport, Davis pledged the state's ongoing economic support for Israel.
Davis, a Democrat who is running for reelection in November, made the statement at a meeting with Jewish leaders at the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles following a telephone conference with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
"To those critics in California that would have us divest our pension ... as long as the people of California want me to be governor, we will be doing business with Israel," Davis told Jewish leaders as well as reporters.
